Samuel Thomas Gill is arguably the most notable of the artists who visited Castlemaine and the central Victorian goldfields at the height of the rush in the 1850s. His record is a legacy of works that can be read against the backdrop of the town today.

Author, designer and artist Geoff Hocking will guide an informative stroll through Gill’s Castlemaine and also take in the sights that were once visited by other prominent artists: Lacy, Clarke, Daintree, Rowe, the A&A Photographic Company, Verey and Wheeler. Enjoy an entertaining meander among the shadows of the past.
