Dunolly Tourist Guide

    Dunolly is a delightful small Australian country town situated in the Central Goldfields region of the State of Victoria just twenty five kilometres north of Maryborough. Being located in the heart of the famous Golden Triangle the township has a stable population of some 600 residents and is very popular with gold prospectors as the surrounding goldfields have long been the home of the worlds largest Gold Nugget finds.  In its heyday of the 1850's and 60's it was a large metropolis with a population of more than 35,000 people who in one way or another were attracted to the area by the lure of gold.

    
Broadway the main street of Dunolly as it is today.

    In the 1860's the main street of Dunolly which is named "Broadway", extended for 3 miles (5Km) and consisted of many banks, hotels and other businesses, some of which still exist today.
