Village eyes official opening"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A CENTRAL Victorian tourist hotspot is almost ready to re-open to the public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Porcupine Village started operating as a historic mining town in 1993, with some 40 buildings including a pub, bowling alley, general store, blacksmith\u2019s workshop and undertaker\u2019s office, all located on 15 acres of land at Maldon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">But for the last 10 years, the site has been a shell of its former self after its old owners locked all the doors, disinterested in tourism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In November 2020, businessman Frank Hutchinson purchased the site for $1.7 million, and hired Doug and Deborah Baird as caretakers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe were lucky that most of the buildings were intact when we got here, we\u2019ve had to repair a few of them, but the bones were already here,\u201d Mr Baird said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83021\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83021\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-83021\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Almost 40 historic buildings make up Porcupine Village including a bar, blacksmith\u2019s shed, general store, and undertaker\u2019s office.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The \u201cbones\u201d also included 1850s furniture, tools, signage and other remnants which will remain in the village.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ms Baird said the couple\u2019s vision is for families and children to learn about the history of Central Victoria and the importance of mining during the 1800s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visitors will be able to dress up in colonial-style clothes for photos, have a drink in a fully licensed bar, and wander in an out of the historic buildings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">But while the village offers a step back in time, the site will also boast luxury motels, a function marquee, \u201cglamping\u201d tents\u201d, a caravan park, petting zoo, wildlife park, and restaurant, all new to the location.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe locals have got two great pubs in Maldon, but there\u2019s no restaurant,\u201d Mr Baird said. \u201cPeople don\u2019t have an option for a restaurant meal in Maldon, so they\u2019re looking forward to having another option.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe main question I\u2019m always asked is when are we opening,\u201d Ms Baird said. \u201cWe can\u2019t put a timeline on that at the moment, but we hope it\u2019s in the not-too-distant future.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83022\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83022\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

staff are hired, and the village will have about 30 employees working each day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe have employed quite a few restaurant staff even though we\u2019re not open yet, but they were all very keen to come on board and live the dream with us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pair said having an attraction like Porcupine Village will be huge for tourism at Maldon and visitors will be encouraged to check out all of Central Victoria during their stay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As for transport, Mr Baird said you\u2019ll be able to catch a steam train from Castlemaine to Maldon, with a horse-drawn carriage waiting to take you back to the 1850s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A CENTRAL Victorian tourist
