The Maldon Orchestra is reimagining the music of the Victorian Gold Rush.
Back to Porcupine Flat is a composition about some miners heading back to Porcupine Flat just outside of Maldon to continue digging for gold. The diggers had a tough time on the goldfields and despite the possible reward of finding gold there were also many difficulties faced by the miners.
Back to Porcupine Flat is a tribute to the miners who kept going back to work their claims as hard as life on the goldfields was.

The 142nd Maldon Easter Parade was held today and The Maldon Easter Fair must be one of Australia’s longest running Easter festivals.
The parade was a success again this year thanks to the hard work of the Maldon Easter Fair organisers.
Many imaginative, fun and though provoking floats and entries entertained the street which was packed with people watching.
Here are some photos that were shared to Instagram of the parade.

Sandy Creek Clydesdales Stud operated the Maldon No.5 Tram for the duration of the Maldon Easter Fair.
The tram is a great way for visitors to take in an overview of Maldon whilst enjoying the novelty of a horse drawn tram.
