Briagolong

========================================================================
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Briagolong is a small town, with an urban population of 580, and many more living on farms and in the nearby forested area. It has a strong artistic and alternative community, which blends well with families that have been in the town for five generations. Most people work outside the town in Maffra or Sale.
Above: Looking towards Briagolong from the Stratford Road. The town is just out of sight, on the right. Mount Ben Cruachan can be seen in the centre of the photograph. It is literally the last town on the Central Gippsland Plains before the Great Dividing Range, which begins to rise several kilometres outside the town.
Main Street, looking towards Stratford. The buildings on the right are the hotel, the old bank building (obscured) the new bakery (green roof) and the butchers.
Possibly the best-known building in the town - the Briagolong Mechanics' Institute.

And, please note - it is spelled BriagOlong, not BriagAlong. But if I put that in here, the search engines will find us anyway!
