The Mill, Castlemaine.
This ambitious and exciting project was embarked upon by our friends Phil and Ronnie just a few years back when the Victoria Carpets factory site came up for sale. It took their bold, innovative confidence to turn this into what has now become a cultural ‘hub’ for our amazing town.
The Mill is reason alone to visit Castlemaine. https://millcastlemaine.com.au/
