Carlsruhe, Victoria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carlsruhe is a small rural town in the Macedon Ranges Shire between Woodend and Kyneton, alongside the Calder Freeway. The BP Station in Carlsruhe was very busy and got lots of traffic until the new Calder Fwy was created. Carlsruhe is very dry, with just mainly dirt paddocks and dead trees. It is approx 50mins from both Melbourne, and Bendigo. Carlsruhe was initially a sheep run established in August 1837 by Charles Hotson Hobden.He was the first man to bring sheep across the Murray from NSW. Carlsruhe was the first rural property north of the young Port Phillip settlement.
