Amherst
Other Names: Old Daisy Hill
Amherst was a town in Victoria, Australia, located on Talbot - Avoca Road,
north-west of Talbot, in the Central Goldfields Shire.
The town began as a mining settlement. It was surveyed and proclaimed in 1855.
Amherst became a municipality in 1858, which included the nearby town of Talbot,
though as Talbot increased in size it eventually replaced Amherst as the municipality.
Much of the original township has been destroyed by bushfire, and little remains other than the Amherst Cemetery.
