At first glance the quiet rural town of Wedderburn may appear to be no more than a small supply centre to the farmlands around town. However, it was once a populous and very rich goldmining settlement and retains one of Victoria's few remaining active goldmines (albeit a rather idiosyncratic one). In fact, the town's tourism is very much oriented to this aspect of the past. It is located 214 km north-west of Melbourne on the Calder Highway, between Inglewood and Charlton. The population is currently around 750.
