It's so easy to get to Clunes. We have plenty of parking & free shuttle buses available for your convenience. Take advantage of our interactive map, compile your travel directions online and find accomodation for the weekend.
It is a pleasant and easy 1 1/2 hours drive to Clunes from Melbourne CBD. The roads are excellent and well sign-posted.
Tip: Make your trip to Booktown carbon neutral. For the average car from Melbourne purchase 3 trees from Ullina Landcare stall (who will plant them for you) + 3 books from any stall.

Discover antique books, nostalgia, and treasures held in 21 buildings dotted across the historic gold town! Well over 50 booksellers are offering their stock over the weekend.
Clunes is recognised as one of the architecturally most intact Victorian Gold towns!
Tip: Clunes has luckily not been affected by the devastating 2009 bush fires. Enjoy 'Back to Booktown' or discover the beautiful surrounds, for example: Mount Beckworth Scenic Reserve.
