You will discover hidden treasures and the creative magic heart of our historic towns. Uncover luscious local secrets, (far more than gold) in unexpected places and this year St Arnaud and Bridgewater join the Loddon trail.
This years theme of environment recycling and re purposing has become a thread that binds the trail. Gardens botanical art and recycled sculptural treasures will surprise and inspire. you are invited to explore the towns, sculpture in parks and river walks and local silo projects.
