Harrietville - Victoria

Harrietville is a small town with access to the Mt Hotham ski fields and a number of excellent bushwalking tracks. Located 332 km north-east

of Melbourne, Harrietville is a former goldmining town settled in 1852 by goldminers, it became a resting place for those en route to the

Omeo, Dargo and Glen Wills goldfields. Reef mining commenced in the area in 1861 as alluvial gold became scarce. At one point,

348 reefs were officially registered. Dredging began in the 1890s as the reefs became uneconomical. Dredge buckets filled with

flowers can still be seen in the area. Small miners' cottages remain and are still occupied today.
