Talbot, a living ghost town, only two hours from Melbourne
In the 1850's, Talbot was a bustling town, full of gold from
the thousands of miners crowding its streets. Today it's a place
of golden silence - a secret getaway to relax and daydream, a writers
and artists paradise.
Glimpse history in the heritage buildings and museums lining Talbot's tranquil streets.
Search for treasure in its growing number of small-but-characterful shops including Slightly Bent Books -- Fanny's Flat Vintage Boutique -- Railway Station Nursery
Savour the magical atmosphere when Talbot bursts into life,
as thousands flock to the monthly Farmers Market - then wonder as the ghost town
returns, as though nothing happened at all.
Wander through the London House garden, then unwind in its charming cafe or the vine-garlanded verandah of the nearby pub.
Explore the nearby countryside, dotted with wineries
and scenic attractions.
Stay overnight in style at a quaint local cottage, church or historic
hotel.
Come be revived by Talbot - less than two hours from Melbourne.
