Newlyn is a town in the Shire of Hepburn, in Victoria, Australia. It is situated on the Midland Highway between Creswick and Daylesford. At the 2021 census, Newlyn had a population of 136.[1]
The area was first settled in by Creswick miners who turned to farming as alluvial gold became harder to obtain. In 1915, the township split into Newlyn and Newlyn North after a naming dispute between its two post offices. The Newlyn Recreation Reserve serves as a venue for meetings and sporting clubs, including the local Newlyn Football Netball Club and the Coronet City-Newlyn Cricket Club, while the town also has a small state primary school.
