Wandiligong Valley Classification Citation from the National Trust Victoria - 1977

"This is a small valley of great charm. The Surrounding hills are covered in natural forest and some softwood plantations. The Valley floor is cleared and used for grazing, tobacco growing, orchards and chestnut trees. The chestnut trees are an important feature of the valley, both economically and aesthetically. Oaks and poplars also give variety to the landscape.

The township of Wandiligong is a sprawling, ill defined village. Its old houses sit comfortably on the hillsides and are set in large blocks, giving the town a semi-rural character. The old buildings are simple, unpretentious structures in themselves, but together combine to form an harmonious whole.

Fussy gardens are almost nonexistent. Instead, sheep graze between houses; chestnuts, walnuts and farm fences surround cottages. The cottages are given a sense of time and place by the presence of a number of larger buildings - the school, hall, Post Office, store and several Churches.

The buildings achieve an excellent affinity with the landscape. Indeed the whole valley is one visual entity. It appears as a pleasant mosaic of patterns, forms and colours woven carefully together to achieve a satisfying blend. One sees it as a cultural and historic landscape, reflecting man's adaptations to the natural environment."
