Kilmore

Overview

With it's reputation as one of Victoria's oldest inland towns, Kilmore features a collection of historic buildings including the Post Office, Court House, the Town Hall and former Police Barracks that would be an ideal location for filming.

History

The oldest surviving house in Kilmore is Whitburgh Cottage, which was constructed from bluestone in 1853. The cottage is located in Piper Street and now houses a museum which features items of 19th century culture.

The Old Kilmore Gaol, which dates back to 1859, is situated in Sutherland Street and offers guided tours with displays and memorabilia.

Monument Hill, located a few kilometres to the east of town, is a fauna and flora reserve that includes a monument to explorers Hume and Hovell in the form of a bluestone lookout tower which offers scenic views towards Kilmore and the surrounding countryside.
