Ghost Town
An abandoned court house stands among the gumtrees in Steiglitz, Victoria.
Way back in 1863, Steiglitz was a boom-town. Home to 2,000 people, it had four hotels, a newspaper, three schools and an undertaker. Most of the town’s residents were hoping to strike it rich in the Victorian Gold Rush, a period of growth and prosperity that occurred between the 1850’s and late 1860’s. Sadly, as the gold mining dried up, so did the town and today - the population of Steiglitz has dwindled to just 61 remaining residents. The town’s once busy buildings have been left empty as monuments to its more active past.
