Outbuildings of Lidston House - Morses Creek Road, Wandiligong
Built in the Nineteenth Century, "Lidston House" is a rambling weatherboard villa in the small alpine town of Wandiligong.
Built on the high side of the hill with commanding views of the hills that surround Wandiligong, "Lidston House" obviously belonged to someone of means. It features several substantial red brick chimneys and an elegant shady verandah that runs around the perimeter of the house. Built on a steep incline, the house has a beautiful terraced garden full of mature deciduous trees and clipped hedges.
It still has several corrugated iron outbuildings.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
