Nillumbik Historical Society would like to welcome you to our home at Ellis Cottage on Ellis Cottage Reserve Diamond Creek to learn about our township’s history. A detailed presentation will accompany the talk which will cover many aspects of our history from early days of subsistence farming and wood carting; the discovery of gold and its impact on our townships growth; the beginnings and importance of fruit growing across the district; when our schools started; sports and social events bringing the community together; and a detailed view of how we got our name – why and when were we called Nillumbik and Diamond Creek?

After the talk which will run for approximately an hour we welcome questions and discussion with our Society members.

We provide a delicious home-made afternoon tea with our talks, so we would like you to stay and enjoy that too.

Please RSVP to nillumbikhs.sec@gmail.com by Friday 20th March to assist with catering
