"Claremont" Victorian Villa - Wandilogong

            Built in the late Nineteenth Century, "Claremont: is a weatherboard villa, which may be found in the small alpine town of Wandiligong.

This villa is quite charming and obviously belonged to someone of means, for it is not a miner's cottage with several rooms built either side off a central hallway.  It features two red brick chimneys and an elegant shady verandah that runs around the perimeter of the house.  The house's name, "Claremont" appears painted in gilt letters on the lunette above the front door.

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.
