What Lies Beyond the Gate - Morses Creek Road, Wandiligong
Reached through a pretty cottage wire gate, this Victorian era red brick house is nearly entirely obscured from view by mature deciduous trees.
It once would have been the cottage home of one of the many miners that panned for gold during the Victorian Gold Rush in Wandiligong.
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.
