Warrenheip
Located 6 kms from Ballarat many small holdings clustered around Warrenheip where beautiful spring water had attracted attention very early and led to the establishment of two breweries and a distillery. In 1865 eight hotels did their best to dispose of the local product. In 1911, as elsewhere, there were fewer hotels but the breweries remained, and a post office and railway station, state school, store, bootmaker and butcher served a sizeable farming community and a few dairymen. Today the church precinct is notable.[1]

The beautiful bluestone mansion called Killarney that nestles in a tranquil pastoral setting near Mount Warrenheip was built and owned by Thomas Loughlin from money bequeathed from his uncle Martin Loughlin whose obituary in the Otago Daily Times of 13 October 1894 measured the wealth he had gained by becoming a mining magnate, speculator and entrepreneur. It showed that he left property valued at around a quarter of a million pounds. It comprised the Glengower estate of 18,000 acres, a large interest in the Seven Hills estate Kingston, and in Queensland station property, mortgages of land and station property, Melbourne Tramway, bank and other shares.[2]
