Kyneton Post
Such graceful aging is everywhere in Kyneton. The volcanic geology of the surrounding area meant the district produced an inexhaustible supply of bluestone which was used to build many of the town’s stately structures. The five original churches in Kyneton were built of local stone, some of which was quarried at the actual building sites.

Kyneton
- Kyneton, 86km north of Melbourne, is an attractive historic town featuring 19th-century bluestone architecture. Small-scale manufacturing and farming boomed in the 1850s and 1860s in the rush to feed the thousands of miners who flocked to the district.
