| 説明 | Buninyong. Population 3,700.The district uses an Aboriginal word which they used for the local high mountain. The Learmonth brothers were the first with a pastoral run here in 1838. A village slowly emerged in the mid-1840s with a Post Office, Presbyterian Church (1847) and Hiscock’s blacksmiths. When Hiscock discovered the first major gold in Victoria in August 1851 he started the rush to the Ballarat goldfields. The village became a town when surveyed in 1850. A local gold mine operated and the town developed with fine buildings. Local flour miller Robert Allen bought some land in 1856 and erected the Institute building on it in 1861 as a gift to the town. The Institute and its library closed in 1926 and it became the property of the town. It was restored in 1988. The impressive combined Town Hall and Courthouse was built in 1886; along the street from that is the former National Bank on the corner (1866) and across the intersection is the gabled Crown Hotel built in 1885. The original 1851 wooden one burnt down in 1885. Beside the hotel is the Post Office (1874) and beyond is Thomas Hiscock’s cottage (1851). Along the Main Street towards Geelong is the Presbyterian Church with three side gables built in 1860. The town also has Anglican and Catholic churches. |
