The first dwellings would have been built by the aboriginals and were simple temporary structures. After the English took over, Maldon still did not exist for some time. The area was part of a sheep run, and any cottages that existed would most probably have been shepherds' huts. It would have been in this period that the earliest of what we now know as Maldon cottages was built. This was Middlemiss Cottage.</p> <p>Middlemiss Cottage is an important part of Maldon's cottage heritage. In fact, it is an important part of Australia's heritage.</p> <h1>Maldon Miner's Cottages</h1> <p>What about miner's cottages?, I hear you ask. Well, gold was not discovered at Maldon until 1853. The miners who flocked to Maldon at that time lived in tents. They didn't build cottages, because they weren't intending to stay. The building of cottages began a little later, after the majority of gold-seekers had left to follow the next "rush".</p> </body>
