The first registered gold strike in the state was made at Clunes on 7 July 1851. The town, north of Ballarat, is said to be one of the most intact gold towns in Victoria, featuring historic buildings throughout, including the imposing town hall and courthouse. Surrounding the town are a number of extinct volcanoes. A view of these can be obtained three kilometres to the south, on the road to Ballarat. The town was used as a location for the film Ned Kelly, starring Heath Ledger.
