Warrandyte was the first place that gold was found in Victoria. Old mine shafts and tunnels dot the hills in the surrounding area as a testament to those who came here to seek their fortune. And the old bakery, primary school and various other buildings in the main street give an indication of how long a village has been on this spot. Of course the indigenous history in Warrandyte goes back for thousands of years. Not sure when the original locals came across the gold or really whether they thought much of it. Quite odd really the value that some people put on this shiny metal.
