Beechworth is an historical town in North East Victoria and has a number of beautifully preserved buildings in the main street. Of course we wanted to call into the original Beechworth Bakery for morning tea. We had visited this great country baker about 30 years ago and found that it still provides friendly service, delicious pastries and cakes, plus a nice cuppa. It was very busy just before Christmas with lots of folk stocking up on Christmas cakes, puddings, gingerbread and biscuits - there are tables inside and out.
The Visitor Information Centre is housed in the historic Beechworth Town Hall and is surrounded by beautiful gardens and museums. Public toilets are located alongside the Visitor Information Centre. Just around the corner from the VIC you will find a dedicated caravan parking area which is walking distance to the main street (on William Street beside Town Hall Gardens).
This is a busy little town which is very popular with tourists - great cafes, restaurants, gourmet shops selling local produce, interesting gift shops, art galleries, hotels and of course lovely antiques. Beechworth was a gold mining town and you can see the cell where Ned Kelly was housed during a hearing at the Courthouse. There are several accommodation options in town as well as two caravan parks.
