Between the mineral springs of Daylesford and the old city of Ballarat, RACV Goldfields Resort is set in the historic bushland around Creswick. There is a huge golf course, making it a popular country getaway for keen golfers, but for others, just a relaxing and luxurious setting to relax, walk and explore the area.

The Victorian School of Forestry was established in October 1910 at Creswick, located at the former Creswick Hospital, built in 1863 during the gold rush.
