Maldon - a historic township, gold mining:

I have not been on my blog for quite sometime.  We now live in Victoria and have done for a little over 12 months.  We have been living in Maldon for 5 months.   We are living on the property which is owned by Harry Hood, Drew is helping Harry with a lot of work around the place, maintenance & both of them have build a bar for a local business which is opening up soon.
Alittle history on the Maldon district: 
The district where Maldon now stands was first visited by white European colonialists in 1836, during Major Thomas Mitchell's famous Victorian expedition. It was settled soon afterwards by pastoralists, and two sheep runs were established in the area, at the foot of nearby Mount Tarrengower. In December 1853, gold was discovered at Cairn Curran (the name given to one of the sheep runs), and Maldon became a part of the Victorian Gold Rush.
