Interesting facts about this location
Homebush, Victoria
Homebush was a goldmining town 10 kilometres from Avoca in central Victoria, Australia. The locality is within the Pyrenees Shire. First settled in 1853 after a rush to a rich claim nearby, the town reached the height of its prosperity in the 1880s. But Homebush owed its existence entirely to the mines: when the gold ran out and the mines closed the town rapidly declined and died. All that remains of a once-flourishing community is a school building and some mullock heaps.
