Creswick Transportation

Public transport within Creswick is non existent apart from the taxi, so to explore the district you'll need a car.
Go out a little into the countryside and explore, see some of the many mullock heaps and other remnants of the mining era of the 1850's - around 1900.
This photo (not taken by me, for a change) is taken near Kingston. The region around Creswick is an important potato and other vegetable crop growing area and the soil is rich and very chocolate like in appearance (from the volcanic plains). The row of trees you see is part of the Avenue of Honour. This idea originated in Victoria. Each tree is a remembrance, representing one serviceman or women who fought in the world wars. Some Avenue of Honours have little plaques with soldiers names at the foot of each tree.

Creswick is a small enough town that you can walk around the best parts of it and through the township.
If you like walking, there are the lake walks, bushwalking, and other walks in and around the town.
Or biking is another nice way to get around. There are only a couple of large road hills and the rest of the riding is quite flat.
