Here`s what a perfect winter day in Beechworth looks like โ
Kick things off with a coffee and toastie from @tiny.beechworth then take a gentle stroll around Lake Sambell. Feeling brave? Book a session at @stillwatersaunas for some well-earned rest.
When hunger strikes, head to the @stanleypub_vic for cosy vibes and great food. Spend the afternoon browsing the unique shops on Ford and Camp Streets, or duck into the Burke Museum and @beechworthhistoricprecinct to explore the fascinating natural history collection.
As the sun sets, head to Mayday Hills for a spine-tingling ghost tour at @asylumghosttours
Fresh air, indulgence and a little adventure. Perfect!
Winter is one of the best times to visit Woolshed Falls, with recent rain bringing the granite cascades to life.
Just a short drive from Beechworth, this iconic spot is putting on a spectacular show, with water rushing through the landscape and scenic lookout spots offering plenty of photo opportunities.
If you`re heading out to explore, take care around wet rocks and creek crossings. Wear sturdy shoes, stick to marked tracks and keep a safe distance from the water`s edge, as conditions can be slippery after rain.
