Former Wesleyan Methodist Church - Morses Creek Road, Wandiligong

            Currently under renovation and conversion sympathetically into a private residence, the former Wandiligong Wesleyan Methodist Church can be found on a rise along Morses Creek Road in the little alpine town of Wandiligong.  Built in 1878 of red stone in Picturesque Gothic style, it is unpretentious and looks like a typical country village church.

Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne.  Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community.  At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel.  Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area.  The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
