Welcome to the sleepy town of Clunes in the Shire of Hepburn in Victoria, Australia.  It's one of the most intact gold towns in Australia with it's original old world charm giving you a real 'step back in time' experience.  It is this charm that has seen this town used for movie sets etc.  Clunes is also the place where Victoria’s history changed in 1851 when gold was first discovered which lead to the great gold rush.  

We arrived into town in the early morning, it was through winter so it was VERY cold.  Not a lot was open but it was a quaint little town, the local coffee shop in town was busy, locals were relaxed and friendly, the whole area had a really nice vibe.  

I had a little fun playing with this photo... but then struggled on selecting which one to enter.  I decided on the top photo as I felt the shadow became more of the focus but here's a little look at the others : )
