    CLUNES STREAM PROTECTION WALL - Heritage Inventory Description

    This wall is made entirely of well dressed bluestone blocks which have been laid on the steep slope of the creek embankment and fixed together with a cement rich mortar. It extends from the rear of the first private property on Fraser Street downstream through the Clays Foundry site and ending at some undetermined point near the main storm water drain that intersects it from discharge down Templeton Street. The wall in many places is somewhat overgrown and reaches a height approximately equal to the surrounding flat ground of the flood plain/n

    Heritage Inventory Significance: Excellent example of the standard of stone mason's work associated with civic projects during Clunes gold rush history
