Nestled between famous gold towns Ballarat and Ararat, the historical town was once inhabited by Jajowarrung Aborigines until gold prospectors settled there in 1854.

With its gold rush heritage, Beaufort is home to some of Victoria’s most beautiful historic buildings. Grab a map from the town information centre and make your way through the town’s wide, leafy streets to admire heritage buildings such as the Old Post Office.
