Muckleford

Muckleford, also known as Wattle Flat, is a serene locality in central Victoria, Australia, approximately 127 kilometers northwest of Melbourne and 7 kilometers east of Castlemaine. Nestled along the Muckleford Creek, a tributary of the Loddon River, the area is characterized by gently undulating terrain, fertile alluvial deposits, and sparse eucalypt forests. Rich in history, Muckleford was once a bustling gold mining town in the 1850s, with remnants like the restored Muckleford railway station, now part of the Victorian Goldfields Railway, serving as a tourist attraction. Today, it offers a peaceful rural lifestyle amidst natural beauty and historical landmarks.
