The Gold Rush Tour
Tells the story of the Gold Rushes of the 1850s in Beechworth - once the richest alluvial goldfields in Victoria. Participants will learn the stories behind historic buildings, people and events that helped shape Beechworth, visiting many of the buildings associated with governance on the goldfields and Gold Era commercial buildings (still operating today).


The Ned Kelly Tour
Participants will see many of the buildings associated with the Kelly legend and hear stories behind the events which eventually brought the Kelly era to an end.

Old Beechworth Gaol Tour

The Old Beechworth Gaol is located in the centre of the historical town of Beechworth in North East Victoria. Tour guides will share many stories of the last 150 years. From daily life as a prisoner, epic bushranger stories and changes to the site.


Being one of Australia’s most significant post European cultural sites, its role in the chain of events that led to the execution of Ned Kelly is significant. It also housed Ned’s mother, Ellen Kelly, many of the Kelly sympathisers and Ned himself, alongside his brother Dan and the rest of the Kelly gang.​


There is more to the place than just the Ned Kelly story, with many other people spending time behind bars.
