Dunolly
Old Gold Town in Central Victoria
The Central Victorian
town of Dunolly is located on the traditional lands of
the Dja Dja Wurrung people who called the area Lea
Kuribur. During the Gold
Rush of the 1850s, Dunolly and the surrounding
district, more gold nuggets were discovered than
anywhere else in Australia and became known as the
"Golden Triangle". Gold found in the area included the
largest gold nugget in the world, the 69 kilogram
"Welcome Stranger", which was found in nearby
Moliagul. See a replica of the famous nugget at the
Goldfields Historical and Arts Museum.
