Pop into the Visitor Service located at The Warehouse, and speak to the wonderful staff and Volunteers there, they will make your visit to Clunes something special.

Located in this wonderful space is the magnificent Clunes Museum, lovingly curated by a group of local volunteers.

This is where Victorian gold rush fever sparked in 1851, making Australia (for a short time) the richest country in the world. Evidence of those boomtown days remains in the picturesque streets and beautifully preserved architecture of this charming little town which is considered the best collection of 19th-century buildings in Australia.

A leisurely 40-minute drive from Daylesford or 75 minutes from West Gate Bridge seems fleeting to travel back in time over 150 years.
