Waterloo

Waterloo, a former gold mining town, is a rural locality on the Trawalla Creek, 7 km north-east of Beaufort and 42 km north-west of Ballarat.

It formed part of the Fiery Creek gold diggings, although it was several kilometres east of the creek. Waterloo was one of the first places opened, and in 1858 gold was also found north of there, beyond the Waterloo Swamp which is the headwater of the Trawalla Creek.
