Shire Hall
The former shire hall in Staughton Street is a single-storey structure built in 1878 of rock-faced basalt squares and limestone from Waurn Ponds. It is an eclectic design by Alexander Davidson with Corinthian columns, a prominent gabled portico and arcade. Also of interest are the railway station (1862) and the Victorian bluestone state school.
Lethbridge
Lethbridge is a pastoral town located 16 km south of Meredith on the Midland Highway. A local bluestone quarry (the site can be viewed from the railway bridge) supplied the material used in the construction of drystone fences in the area, as well as the local railway station and those at Meredith and Bannockburn. The last major use of this bluestone, before the quarry closed, was for the spire of St Mary's at Geelong. The local school, railway station and water tower are of interest.
