Malmsbury was a service centre for travellers heading for the goldfields of the north and became a thriving town in the mid-1800s, due to its rich agricultural lands and gold bearing soils. Bluestone was abundant in and around Malmsbury and was quarried to build many significant buildings, including the National Trust-classified ~The Viaduct~. Malmsbury has maintained its historic streetscape, which remains very similar in appearance to the early years.
