Beechworth is one of Victoria's best preserved gold towns, with a wealth of historic buildings
and attractions to explore, including the Historic & Cultural Precinct, hailed as Australia's
finest heritage attraction.

Following the discovery of gold in 1852, Beechworth flourished and soon became a
major regional centre.

Bushranger Ned Kelly was tried in the courthouse, now part of the Historic & Cultural
Precinct. This collection of 19th century provincial government buildings provides
a wonderful glimpse into life on the early goldfields.
