Browse property in The Gums

The Gums sits along Mount Clear’s primary street grid, anchored by Geelong Road running north‑south and Whitehorse Road running east‑west, with a modest commercial strip at their intersection. The streets are lined with single‑family detached homes built since the 1970s on larger‑than‑average blocks, set against the suburb’s hilly, bush‑fringed terrain.

Automobile dependence is high, with more than 15,000 vehicles daily on the main roads and two bus routes serving Geelong Road and Whitehorse Road at roughly thirty‑minute intervals between Buninyong and Ballarat. Residents enjoy easy access to nearby schools, including Mount Clear Primary, Mount Clear College, Damascus College and Emmaus Catholic Primary, as well as Canadian Creek and the Marty Busch Reserve park.
