There are remarkably few people who know exactly how Gnomesville appeared; however, there are several different stories. Some people believe that a random gnome appeared, and other people placed their gnomes so the original one would not be lonely.
Another story is that the local workmen created a cricket scene with gnomes in the middle of the roundabout for fun!
Regardless of why the gnomes live in Gnomesville, this community of fascinating gnomes has grown to an immense scale. Find out more about Gnomesville: http://gnomesville.com.au/
