We are closed. No longer operating. This business has closed due to locals' hostility towards the business being First Nation and running Bushtucker tours. Clunes is against any business being Aboriginal in its town.

Parts of this hike are very steep with a shifting gravel track underfoot (no steps), although it is usually possible to get a grip on some vegetation. The hike is therefore not suitable for everyone. The hike itself it quite short, it is listed at 1.2km each way, however the steepness of the slope can make it quite exhausting. Reaching the summit makes the effort worth it. Spectacular views all around, peace and quiet, a gentle wind rustling through the leaves, birds chirping, and if you are lucky a wedge-tailed eagle gliding by. A nice, clear, sunny day is preferred if this is possible. The best way to approach the hike it is to just take it slowly with small steps and have a break after around 10 to 15 minutes if you need it. Follow the orange triangles from the top of the car park near the toilets at the "Cork Oaks". Make sure you are aware of where the last orange triangle is for your trip down, and be very careful coming down that you don't step too quickly onto moving gravel. There are also other walks and another longer route to return to the car park. Details about the park, walks, and a map is available online in a Parks Victoria "Park Notes" brochure. If you are up to it this walk is highly recommended and then forever after whenever it is within sight you can recall the day you were up there at the Lollipop Tree looking down at wherever you may be at the time. Enjoy!

Carisbrook Historical Society members made a booking to have a local guide open and show us around the former Clunes Town Hall, Court House and Free Library buildings and over the site of the former Port Phillip Goldming Company. We were most impressed with the locals' energy and commitment to restore these buildings to their former glory and to observe the remnants of the structures and sites of the former enormous mining company.Well worth booking a tour.

Clunes Museum is accredited by the Museums Association Australia (Vic). The Museum is housed in the former warehouse (c.1860) of contractors Nicholl and Wallace and was redeveloped in 2014 so the museum could expand into modern exhibition areas and work spaces.

Clunes Museum accupies the front rooms at this terrific facility in busy Fraser Street. The rooms have been furnished to show an earlier era and the thematic displays show the development of this goldmining centre. It reflects great credit on the generations of volunteers who have built up the collection, which includes searchable data bases on former Clunes residents.
