Flagstaff is a locality in Victoria, Australia, site of a former settlement, located on the Pyrenees Highway east of Maryborough in the Shire of Central Goldfields.

[2][3] Flagstaff began as a mining settlement, and covered about 3 miles (4.8 km) along the banks of the local unnamed creek.

[citation needed] Gold was again discovered at Flagstaff in June 1855 and brought many prospectors into the area, including seven local pubs.

[citation needed] A major gold rush to Maryborough occurred from June 1854, although some miners had been working in the area from the previous December.

Seven men, one of whom was Murray Neppy, were camped on their way to the rush close by and found gold at Carisbrook.
