Redcastle is a locality in the City of Greater Bendigo and the Shire of Campaspe in the Australian state of Victoria.
Redcastle was established under the name "Balmoral" when gold was discovered in the area in 1859.[1] Redcastle was a mining town until the 1880s when the population started to decrease. Many abandoned gold mines can still be found in the area.[2]
