One upon a time it was set between Pratt and Cameron Streets, now its gone back to nature and Holts Flat Track is on the eastern boundary (access it via this track).
The land is ideal for weekend pursuits, bush walking, mountain biking, gold prospecting or just owning a part of the Australian bush & Goldrush heritage.

Redcastle was an isolated goldfield between the McIvor (Heathcote) diggings and the Waranga (Rushworth) diggings further north. It was discovered in 1859, and named the Balmoral Diggings. Bailliere's Victorian gazetteer (1865) recorded Redcastle as having police and court facilities, a post office, two hotels and three quartz-crushing mills: most gold was found in quartz reefs. Redcastle can be identified by numerous abandoned gold mines with State forest around three sides.
