It’s been very dry this year at Maldon, almost drought conditions.
Fortunately this week we were blessed with a good amount of autumn rain and it’s not a moment too soon.

Rego – The Ruling Brand – Historic Sign at Maldon – Photo: © Maldon Victoria
An iconic part of Maldon.
The now restored Rego sign is advertising a brand which has now long passed. Until a couple of year ago the sign had faded despite at least one earlier restoration in the 1970s.
The sign is situated on the side of a former bakery that dates back to 1859 called the Scotch Pie House. It is located on the corner of Main Street and Templeton Street.
Mount Tarrengower at Maldon is a place for adventure.
Hang Gliding from the mount. The famous Hill Climb car race up the mountain. Mountain Biking at speed down the many trails. The possibilities for adventure are only limited by imagination.

This stone cottage at Maldon is a great example of goldfields architecture. A functional cottage which once was a commonplace style of building but now has a charm that embodies the heritage of Maldon.
