The History of Tarnagulla

Tarnagulla

Formerly known as Sandy Creek (1852-1858)
Centre of the Victorian Goldfields, Australia.

Tarnagulla is a small rural town situated in the heart of the Golden Triangle, central Victoria. It is a town founded on the excitement and hope of the Victorian Gold rush and quickly developed into a thriving community. Over the years the gold became less plentiful and many turned to farming and other pursuits. With a colorful history, Tarnagulla today is a sleepy town with a population of only a few hundred.
The following pages provide an insite into some of the history of Tarnagulla as well as photo's, church and cemetery records, stories, articles from local papers and more.
There are currently many more articles and records to be included and I am working towards getting as many as possible online as time goes. It is also my hope that anybody with articles, records, or information may submit them for inclusion on this site. In this way we can make this site a great resource for those of us interested in the township of Tarnagulla.
