Discover Beechworth's Remarkable Past.
Step back in time on a 45-minute guided walking tour through one of Australia's best-preserved gold rush-era sites - the Beechworth Historic Precinct. Recently added to the National Heritage List, this fascinating collection of granite buildings tells the story of Australia's gold rush boom, early colonial governance, and the diverse communities that shaped the region.
You will visit original 1850s structures including the Gold Sub-Treasury, Chinese Protectorate Office, Courthouse, and Telegraph Station, and explore stories of fortune, hardship, rebellion, and justice. Along the way, handle real gold replicas, view rare artefacts, and uncover the incredible contributions of Beechworth's Chinese community, the political activism of early miners, and the courtroom dramas involving figures like Ned Kelly.
