Tarnagulla Victoria I Founded on 1800's Gold Rush Hopes and Dreams

Tarnagulla is a small town situated in the heart of the Golden Triangle, central Victoria, Australia. The Gold rush of the mid 1800's quickly developed the town into a thriving mining community. European settlement in the region began with the taking up of Tarnagulla station in the 1840s. Gold was first found in the area in 1852 by prospectors on their way to the Korong goldfields. The discovery led to a gold rush, as more than 5,000 miners made their way to the diggings. The settlement created by these miners was at first known as Sandy Creek and was renamed Tarnagulla, after the station in 1860.Reflecting this, the Post Office opened on 13 August 1856 as Sandy Creek and was renamed Tarnagulla on 2 January 1861. The Gold rush of the mid 1800's quickly developed the town into a thriving community.
