Castlemaine Harbour |
It was here that the famous Australian Outlaw "The Wild Colonial Boy" was born. It stands just beyond the
head of Castlemaine Harbour situated against the background of the Slieve Mish Mountains to the Northwest.
The River Maine has silted up and deprived the town of its sea-borne trade, which at one time was very extensive.
