Beechworth
Cradled in the foothills of the Australian Alps, Beechworth is a fascinating and beautiful town of many contrasts. A town, rich in history that offers a wonderful glimpse into centuries past, Beechworth is a place to discover natural beauty… meandering streams and thundering waterfalls, deep rocky gorges, rolling green valleys and stark granite outcrops.
Beechworth is 258km north-east of Melbourne and 35km east of Wangaratta.

Did you know that in 1870 our famous bushranger, Ned Kelly, ‘stayed' at Beechworth?
