A few steps across the road from the store, you’ll find a bust of AFL football legend, Ronald (Ron) Barassi AM atop a Castlemaine stone base at the edge of the recreation reserve. Unveiled in 2016 to celebrate Barassi’s 80th birthday the statue is a tribute to the great man who spent several years as a young boy living on his grandfather’s farm on Shicer Gully Road and attended Guildford Primary School. Pack a footy (especially if you’re travelling with kids), and have a kick on the oval in honour of one of the legends of Australian sport.
Come and explore our beautiful region, it’s the perfect place to unwind, recharge and rejuvenate. The best bit, we’re only an hour or so from Melbourne.
