25.01.2022 Stay safe out there peeps. Suffice to say, please keep well away from the Goldfields Track near Hepburn Springs while emergency services manage the fire in the area. Keep up to date at http://emergency.vic.gov.au/respond/ and make sure you have the VicEmergency app on your phone.

21.01.2022 When the natural obstacles on the track are little hard to navigate... Luckily our good friends at DELWP Grampians will be on the job soon to clear this up. Thanks to Andrew at Golden Nugget Discovery Tours for alerting us to the issue on the Wallaby Track section. If you see a maintenance issue please let us know about it, by sending details to [email protected] #ridegoldfields #walkgoldfields

20.01.2022 Taking in the view from the soon to be track 9 at the soon to be Harcourt mountain bike park. Bring it on. #delwp #harcourt #whataview #ridegoldfields

20.01.2022 How's your training coming along? The team from the The Jodi Lee Foundation braved the single figures to get in some training for the 2017 #JLFTrek on Sept 8&9. Registrations close July 31. Come on #challengeyourself https://jodileefoundation.org.au/the-jlf-trek-vic-2017

20.01.2022 Planning to be on the Dry Diggings Track Friday, Saturday or Sunday? There is a planned burn, starting tomorrow morning. The track will be closed from Jacksons Lookout to Manning Road. Stay safe, and avoid the area this weekend. Keep up with the news on this website. https://www.ffm.vic.gov.au/bushfire-fuel-and-/planned-burns

19.01.2022 It's not just about the riding and walking, there's also the eating and drinking. From the fresh beauties such as these at The Chocolate Lily Sustainable Stays to a delicious something from the new team at the Public Inn Castlemaine all washed down with real cider from Henry of Harcourt Ride, walk, eat, drink - sounds like a great weekend is coming up. #ridegoldfields #walkgoldfields #restaurantaustralia #raspberries #summerfruit #realcider

19.01.2022 I want to ride my bicycle... #ridegoldfields #ridelikeagirl #singletrack #longweekend

18.01.2022 Meet Vanessa. Vanessa volunteers in the FareShare kitchen, she also runs ultramarathons. Vanessa is combining two things she loves - running and helping those less fortunate - by running FIVE marathons in FIVE days over the June long weekend, and she's using the Goldfields Track for this huge effort. You can support Vanessa and FareShare by clicking this link. https://www.fareshare.net.au/vanessas-five-marathons-for-f/ Good luck Vanessa.

16.01.2022 Stay safe peeps. Please keep out of the forest and off the track until the worst of this hot spell passes.

15.01.2022 Woohoo, the Goldfields Track shuttle between Castlemaine and Daylesford is back for spring. Every Saturday from 28th Sep through to 9th Nov, with a special run for the upcoming Friday public holiday. With the specially designed trailer to safely carry bikes and various drop off points, it's perfect for riders AND walkers. Book your seat(s) now! #ridegoldfields #walkgoldfields #goldfieldstrack

14.01.2022 Anyone grabbing the RIDING routes from the Garmin links on our website will know they were not working - sorry, our bad. But GOOD NEWS. Thanks to the talented team from Tread Harcourt we have clean, shiny, new, accurate GPX files. They are available on the website, or grab them here. #ridegoldfields #notgetlost Leanganook Track https://bit.ly/2FaO8pD Dry Diggings Track https://bit.ly/2HBHM5n Wallaby Track https://bit.ly/2Y2DGJj Eureka Track https://bit.ly/2Hsr3ST

13.01.2022 Latest from DELWP on progress at Harcourt MTB Park. Trail builders well underway!!

11.01.2022 What a weekend, 100+ walkers on the Goldfields Track as part of the The Jodi Lee Foundation #JLFTrek. They weren't going to let a little thing like a climb UP Mt Alexander stop them from having a great time and raising valuable funds for bowel cancer awareness and research. Well done to all and looking forward to 2018 #challengeyourself #walkgoldfields

11.01.2022 You can never cease to be inspired by the cultural heritage along the Goldfields Track. Built in 1887, imagine being part of the construction team for the Garfield Waterwheel? Much applauded at the time as the biggest in the southern hemisphere, it proved to be a little too big for its own good. Here endeth today's history lesson. #ridegoldfields #walkgoldfields #goldrushheritage

10.01.2022 Make like the Lantern Rouge crew - they came across the border from SA to ride the Goldfields Track, and took advantage of the shuttle service. Gather your own crew and book now. Shuttle operating each Saturday until 9 November. https://bit.ly/2VtSSAJ

10.01.2022 As the working day draws to a close, take a moment with your friends... to plan your next adventure. #walkgoldfields #ridegoldfields #plansfortheweekend

09.01.2022 On the track in the next couple of weeks? Watch out for the diversion on the Leanganook Track near Mandurang South. Coliban Water is doing some maintenance, so a small section of track is closed. If you have a Goldfields Track Guidebook, it's on map 30. Please observe the signs, stay safe and enjoy the track. #walkgoldfields #ridegoldfields #goldfieldstrack #colibanwater #trackmaintenance

08.01.2022 Now that's a sweet way to unwind at the end of the working day, a couple of tracks at the new La Larr Ba Gauwa Park. You got any plans???? #ridegoldfields #wandervictoria #sunset

08.01.2022 Only a few more of these too cold days, then it'll be the weekend, which is sounding like it'll be mighty fine....

08.01.2022 It's the time of year to walk/ride looking down so you don't miss the gorgeous, and sometimes not so obvious, wildflowers on display. #walkgoldfields #ridegoldfields #wildflowers #spring

08.01.2022 No takers for tomorrow's shuttle (Sat) so the bus and trailer stay in the garage. However, still plenty of time to book for Sunday and the weekends ahead. Remember bookings are essential. Minimum of four bookings required for the bus to run. Call the Castlemaine Visitor Information Centre on... 03 5471 1795 (open 9.00am to 5.00pm - 7 days a week). Or book online, click here https://bit.ly/2GdjNIF. Get onto it!!

07.01.2022 We've been talking about it, working on it, and making it happen since 2013. Well the wait was worth it. La Larr Ba Gauwa mountain bike park in Harcourt is now officially open. Great job DELWP Loddon Mallee in turning our plans into reality. 34km of awesome looped tracks, with something for everyone. Grab a map here http://bit.ly/2G4Ii9m #ridegoldfields #visitharcourt #visitvictoria #djadjawurrung #maldoncastlemainesurrounds #mtb

06.01.2022 Racing your friends is fun, but taking on a train, now that's gotta be a whole lot more fun. Race the Train this Sunday. Can you beat the steam power of the Victorian Goldfields Railway? Not entered yet? You can do so on the day. #ridegoldfields #racethetrain

06.01.2022 Ah, the serenity. With 210km of track, reckon you should be able to find some this weekend. #ridegoldfields #walkgoldfields #wandervictoria #serenity

06.01.2022 What's up this weekend? Here's a bit of inspiration from a group of Wagga Wilderness Walkers, who recently walked the full Goldfields Track. Thanks Janice Peake your pics are wonderful. #walkgoldfields #wildflowers #springinvictoria

05.01.2022 Take care out there this weekend, remember don't enter flood waters, even if it means you have to take the long diversion! The pic shown is not current, but does show what the bridge at Vaughan can look like when the Loddon River is up. That's fast moving water folks. #ridegoldfields #walkgoldfields #staysafe #summerrain

05.01.2022 Lots of planned burns being carried out at this time of the year along the Goldfields Track, so sections of track may be closed. Check the Forest Fire Management website before you start to walk or ride https://www.ffm.vic.gov.au

04.01.2022 Why wouldn't you be happy. The section of track near Hepburn Springs, closed by the bush fires earlier this month, is now open. Thanks Parks Victoria for getting us back on track. #goldfieldstrack #ridegoldfields #walkgoldfields #rungoldfields
