These finds include the world's largest, the Welcome Stranger, which was discovered in 1869 by John Deason and Richard Oates.

[1] Moliagul is composed of scattered rural dwellings and small farms, a hotel (now closed), museum, the old school (now a hall) and former church.

By January of the next year a thriving goldfields town with a store, a butcher's shop and a blacksmith's forge had opened but almost immediately the new settlement was abandoned as people departed for the Sandy Creek gold rush.

[5] The Moliagul Cemetery contains the headstones of many families, such as the Deason's, which date back to the gold rush times.
