  • Moliagul is a small township in Victoria, Australia, 202 kilometres (126 mi) northwest of Melbourne and 60 kilometres (37 mi) west of Bendigo. The town's name is believed to be a derivation of the aboriginal word "moliagulk", meaning "wooded hill". The area is notable for the discovery of a number of gold nuggets. These finds include the world's largest, the Welcome Stranger, which was discovered in 1869 by John Deason and Richard Oates. From what was once a thriving goldfields town, Moliagul today is a virtual ghost town and consists of a number of scattered houses. In 1855 it is estimated there were 16,000 people living in the immediate area during the peak of the Victorian gold rush period. Moliagul Post Office opened on 15 November 1858 and closed in 1971. The town is composed of scattered rural dwellings and small farms, a hotel (now closed), museum, the old school (now a hall) and former church. There are a number of historical sites including a stone monument to the Reverend John Flynn, founder of the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, who was born in Moliagul in 1880. The nearby Moliagul Cemetery contains the headstones of many families, such as the Deason's, which date back to the gold rush times. Within a few kilometers of the town can be found various gold mining areas including the site of the Welcome Stranger. Mount Moliagul itself is visible from the town. (en)
  • Moliagul est une commune de l'État de Victoria, en Australie, à 202 km au nord-ouest de Melbourne et 60 km à l'ouest de Bendigo. Le nom de la ville aurait pour origine un mot aborigène, « moliagulk », qui signifie « colline boisée ». La région est remarquable par la découverte d'un certain nombre de pépites d'or. Ces découvertes comprennent la plus grande du monde, la Welcome Stranger, qui a été découverte en 1869 par John Deason et Richard Oates. Depuis ce qui était autrefois une ville prospère de champs aurifères, Moliagul est aujourd'hui une ville fantôme et se compose de maisons dispersées. En 1855, il y avait environ 16 000 personnes vivant dans la région pendant le pic de la période de ruée vers l'or victorienne. Le bureau de poste de Moliagul ouvre ses portes le 15 novembre 1858 et ferme en 1971. La ville est composée d'habitations rurales et de petites fermes, d'un hôtel (maintenant fermé), d'un musée, de l'ancienne école et d'une ancienne église. Il existe un certain nombre de points d'intérêt historiques, dont un monument en pierre dédié au révérend John Flynn, fondateur du Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, né à Moliagul en 1880. Le mont Moliagul lui-même est visible depuis la ville et offre une vue sur les alentours. (fr)
