Carngham (/ˈkɑːrnəm/) is a locality in the Shire of Pyrenees in Victoria, Australia. It is 23 kilometres (14 mi) west of Ballarat. At the 2016 census, Carngham had a population of 146.[4]

History[edit]

A 30,000-acre pastoral station south of Lake Burrumbeet named Carngham was taken up in 1838.[5] At a Melbourne auction in March 1843, Scottish immigrants Philip and Thomas Russell bought 3,500 sheep and the right to the station from J. D. Baillie's insolvent estate for £950. Phillip Russell and cousin Robert Simson designed a cottage there for two couples. Both married in 1851, and Russell took his wife to Scotland while Simson took over Carngham. Russell took over after he and Simson separated in 1853.[6]

Gold was found at Carngham in 1855, leading to a gold rush of several thousand miners in 1857 several months before the goldfield was opened at Snake Valley. Mining continued for over twenty years, especially along Baillie Creek.[5] A township was surveyed: in 1865, Bailliere’s Victorian gazetteer recorded alluvial and quartz workings, a courthouse, a mechanics’ institute, two hotels and the the Carngham Road District’s office established 1861. A school was opened in 1856.[5]

An Anglican church was established in 1876. Russell built a schoolhouse, mens’ quarters and stables on his estate in 1886 and donated £12,000 for the establishment of a Presbyterian church in 1893.[5] He died in 1869, leaving his Carngham estate to his son James.[6] The school closed in 1911 and a homestead was later built on the estate in 1920. After the estate was subdivided into soldier settlements, the school reopened in 1958 but closed shortly after 1969.[5]
