About Claretown
Claretown is a small rural locality near Ballarat in the City of Ballarat in Victoria, situated in the historic Victorian goldfields region where Australia's richest gold mining area was discovered in 1851. Also known as Clarendon, the landscape features rolling farmland typical of the Central Highlands, with the area connected to the broader Ballarat district shaped by the gold rush era including the nearby Eureka Stockade of 1854. Agricultural land use dominates in this quiet rural setting.
