Welcome to Tarnagulla.org
Dedicated to the history of Tarnagulla
Tarnagulla is a small rural town situated in the heart of the Golden Triangle, central Victoria, Australia. It is a town founded on the excitement and hope of the Victorian Gold rush and quickly developed into a thriving community.
Many large company gold mines employed scores of miners at their peak and many large gold nuggets were found. It was a town of enormous wealth for some.
Over the years as gold became less plentiful many turned to farming and other pursuits.
With a colorful history, Tarnagulla today is a quiet town with a population of only a few hundred.
The following pages provide an insight into some of the history of Tarnagulla through photo's, historic records, stories, articles from local papers and more.
There are always new articles and records to be included and we are working towards getting as many of these online as possible.
It is our hope that anybody with articles or photos of interest would also submit them for inclusion.
In this way it is our aim to make this site a living resource for those of us interested in the township of Tarnagulla and to preserve our history for future generations.
