...and the star of the show Anderson's Mill...
The majestic, bluestone mill, standing sentinel in a picuresque valley is a partner and the backdrop to the fabulous Andersons Mill Festival. The giant waterwheel, once the only source of power to operate the mill, comes to life again at the festival, offering a glimpse of an bygone era when the mill produced the flour and grains to feed the many miners who flocked to the region during the Gold Rush
Owned and maintained by Parks Victoria on behalf of the people, the Mill is a work in progress and is slowly being restored for future generations. Tours of the mill will be conducted every hour during the festival.
Within this fabulous setting the Andersons Mill Festival is an emerging event of note in Victoria's impressive calendar of events. If people only visit one festival a year, this has to be the one!
