An Edwardian Villa - Morses Creek Road, Wandiligong

            Hidden away behind a camellia hedge, in the midst of a well established garden, this Edwardian villa, built between the turn of the Twentieth Century and the Great War, may be found in the little alpine town of Wandiligong.  

Built of weatherboard in the Arts and Crafts style, it features its original red painted corrugated iron roof and wide double front door.  The hipped style of the roof and the half timbered barge board of the portico gable are features of buildings built in the Arts and Crafts style.  

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.
