About Clunes

The discovery of gold in a Clunes creek in 1851 sparked the beginning of the goldrush in Victoria and Clunes quickly became the fifth largest town in the colony.

Nestled in a picturesque valley, the town's robust history and wealthy gold finds resulted in a richness of colonial architecture still to be found set amid wide, well-planned streets.

On arriving in Clunes you could be forgiven for thinking that this glorious town has been cocooned in a time warp, where these magnificent buildings and wide verandahs retain the illusion of yesteryear.

It is little wonder then that this fascinating town and its surrounds have been the location for many films, television and advertising productions, including the feature film “Ned Kelly” with Heath Ledger and Naomi Watts.
