Castlemaine and surrounds

In the afternoon I headed back to Castlemaine to visit the art gallery and museum.  I did not find the gallery very intersesting, but the museum had a good collection of items, including china, glasswear and metalwork.

After that I went to a number of interesting sights in the area.

Some of the items in the Castlemaine Museum.
