Shopping

From designer and vintage clothing, jewellery and books to fresh produce, homewares and collectables – there's no end to what you'll find shopping in the Goldfields.

Delightful boutiques

Admire designer clothing and designer jewellery on a stroll down Bendigo's View Street and Bath Lane. Take home your own special piece from slow-fashion specialists Made in Common, or Australian-made champions, bob boutique.

Pick up quality woollens from Ballarat's family run Woolshed Clothing. Browse local craft work, including hand-knitted clothing, paintings and prints by members of the Crafts Council of Ballarat, at the Adam Lindsay Gordon Craft Cottage.

In Castlemaine, check out the eclectic range of jewellery, clothes and accessories at Tribe, or across the road at Corner Store Merchants.

Old-world charms

Start your search for must-take-home antiques, vintage fashion and homewares in Bendigo's View Street and Chancery Lane, then visit the antique and collectables centre at Australia's oldest pottery workshop, Bendigo Pottery.

Spend an afternoon browsing the antique and collectables stores on Castlemaine's Mostyn and Barker streets. Explore the stock of up-cycled furniture and homewares at The Mill and then rummage through the eclectic offerings of the Castlemaine Vintage Bazaar.

In Maryborough the historic Railway Station building is home to an extensive antique emporium, while Ballarat's Mill Markets are a treasure trove of antiques and kitsch items.

Soak up the village lifestyle in nearby Talbot and Maldon where you'll find everything from handmade furniture to vintage clothing and collectable books.

Farm fresh

If you're shopping for local produce, time your visit to coincide with one of the many local weekend markets. Pick up farm-fresh fruit and vegetables, specialty cheeses, smallgoods and bread straight from the baker's oven.
