We all know that Diggers Rest was an important stopping place on the
road to the goldfields during the 1800′s and that it was also a vibrant
farming community. But do we know much about our local people and the
day-to-day stories which helped to shape our identity?
The Diggers Rest History Project with the valued support of the
Melton City Council, the Diggers Rest Primary School, the Melton &
District Historical Society and the Melton Library aims to strengthen
our community values whilst delivering a quality publication, leaving a
lasting legacy for future generations to enjoy.
The project wants to work with the community to help unlock some of those hidden gems from
under the bed, beneath the wardrobe and in the third drawer down.
