About Nuggetty
Nuggetty is a small rural locality in central Victoria, situated approximately 20 kilometres north of Maldon in the Mount Alexander Shire council area. Covering around 29 square kilometres, the locality is set in the granite hills and open farmland of the Mount Alexander region, an area rich in goldfields history.

Nuggetty suits those seeking a peaceful semi-rural lifestyle in the characterful central Victorian goldfields, within comfortable reach of Melbourne.
