Beechworth - Victoria
Beechworth is Australia's best-preserved gold rush towns. Four million ounces of gold were officially mined in 1852, when thousands of hopefuls rushed to the gold fields in search of their fortunes. The prosperity generated by Beechworth gold has left an admirable legacy for today's visitors. The Beechworth Historic and Cultural Precinct is a fine example of this legacy. With over 30 buildings listed by the National Trust, Beechworth has a remarkable architectural heritage, from imposing hotels, churches and government offices to miners’ cottages and the gaol where bushranger Ned Kelly was imprisoned. Take the time to explore the nineteenth century streetscapes, stopping to discover the many fine antique stores, cafes and restaurants, craft shops and tea rooms.
