Every piece of Victoria.
When Golden Nugget Discovery Tours started tours, there was a Victorian tourism campaign going called "The Jigsaw, You will love every piece of Victoria". The State of Victoria was broken up into different tourism regions, some being the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, Great Ocean Road, High Country and so forth.
Being situated in Ballarat, Golden Nugget Discovery Tours was in the Goldfields region, hence the name Golden Nugget. The Goldfields region was in central Victoria and covered roughly the area of the 1850's Gold rush, so the region covered Ballarat in the south, Bendigo in the north, Ararat in the west and Castlemaine in the east. The Goldfields promoted the main strengths of the region being History/Heritage, Arts, Food/Wine and Nature/Wildlife.
I was reading a new Official Visitor Guide of Melbourne recently. In the area of the magazine promoting Regional Victoria, I noticed that the Goldfields region has disappeared, and has been replaced by a Ballarat region and a Bendigo region. Ararat has gone into the Grampians region and Castlemaine into the Daylesford & The Macedon Ranges region. I will still say that I offer tours in the Goldfields, but I will have to emphasize more of Ballarat and Bendigo.
We offer the most tours of the Goldfields, Ballarat, Bendigo, and have the region broken up in to 6 different tours, the tours being Ballarat, with the Ballarat Walking tour, Ballarat Highlights tour, and Ballarat Discovery Tour. Bendigo with the Bendigo Discovery Tour. Maryborough & Central Goldfields Discovery Tour, Daylesford & Castlemaine Discovery Tour, Ararat & Western Ranges tour, and the Goldfields Track walking tours. These can be day tours from Melbourne or we can package several tours together for you with overnight accommodation in fabulous Goldfields heritage hotels/motels.
The other Victoria tourism regions we do tours of are Great Ocean Road, Daylesford & The Macedon Ranges and the Grampians.
Planned Tourism regions in the future are The Murray. This will be multi day nature / sightseeing tour taking you along the magnificent Murray River. A coastal tour taking in the Great Ocean Road and further along the coast to the South Australian border are also in the pipeline.
Golden Nugget Discovery Tours specialise in tours of Victoria, Australia. You will Love every piece of Victoria.
