Smiths Gully

Smiths Gully is a rural locality in the southern foothills of the Kinglake Ranges, 34 km north-east of central Melbourne. It is in the area that was the Caledonia gold diggings, stretching from St Andrews to Warrandyte.

In late 1854 gold was discovered in Smiths Gully (then known as Bostons Gully after an American miner), and a village named Market Square formed where Smiths Gully turns north into Old Caledonian Gully. The Queenstown cemetery approximates the location of Market Square. (Queenstown was the original name of St Andrews, 2 km north of Smiths Gully).
