Barnawartha is a small town located on the Hume Highway in regional north-east Victoria, Australia, approximately from Melbourne on the banks of Indigo Creek which runs into the Murray River to the north. Gustav and William Baumgarten were large land owners in Barnawartha prior to the township being settled. After serving prison time for supplying horses to the infamous Ned Kelly, William developed a large winery called Bogong, on the Murray River.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Victoria. Dept. of Crown Lands and Survey. Barnawartha North, County of Bogong 1881. MAP RM 2741/48 )〕 The township was surveyed and settled in 1860, the Post Office opening on 1 August 1860. The town contains a few historic buildings, such as the perpetually renovated general store and ''Cheesely's Bootmakers shop'' (now used to store hay) a recently burnt and rebuilt pub, and a post office which historians believe to be built of the same white weatherboard that was used to construct the Taj Mahal.〔http://www.tajmahal.gov.in/creation.html〕 Barnawartha has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Tallangatta & District Football League. Golfers play at the Barnawartha Golf Club at the Havelock Street Recreation Reserve. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barnawartha, Victoria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
