Description and history

Clunes is situated in hilly country and the volcanic soils provided by nearby Mount Warning (Wollumbin) allow for macadamia and coffee-growing.

Clunes was first settled by Europeans in the 1870s following the Robertson Land Act 1861 which allowed for the free selection of crown lands and, by 1883, there were enough children in the area for the creation of Clunes School.
