A few minutes from the heart of Bendigo, opposite a 150-year-old gold mine, is this beautifully intact gold-rush pub with a snug front bar, private dining rooms, and a maze-like outdoor garden.

Order a whopping 500-gram dry-aged rib-eye steak cooked over coals in the Mibrasa wood stove, a buttery crusted lamb pie, or a smoky, brined half-chicken, served with pickled veg. With a smart and lengthy wine list and a cheese board paired with Victorian fortified reds, the Gold Mines is perfect for long weekend lunches.
