In the heart of the beautiful North East Victoria, where cattle graze in the lush valleys and its tributaries and trout abound in crystal clear streams. Gold! That was the catch cry that first attracted people to these majestic valleys. Take a 4WD adventure into the many goldfields with history dating back to the 1850’s, take a guided tour of the underground gold mine, see the relics of a bygone era come to life before your eyes. Step into the folds of the nearby ranges, into a world where bushwalking, fossicking, horse riding, native birds and animals in abundance attract those with a love of this unique country. Wander along the main street of Yackandandah with old shopfronts, beautiful trees and old village atmosphere, where you will find crafts, souvenirs and meals to tempt your tastebuds and country hospitality you did not dream still existed. Stay in cosy country pubs, where you can quench your thirst on warm sun-filled days. Or maybe you prefer a friendly bed and breakfast experience. The caravan park is the best you’ll find. Take your choice of easy excursions around the region – snowfields, water-skiing, wineries, architecture, and breathtaking scenic drives. Come and see for yourselves the beauty the region has to offer you, where the gold remains in the fiery colours of autumn in the warm summer sun. Turn your back on the modern day, step into the peace and tranquillity of historic Yackandandah. Yackandandah is located just 20 minutes south of the border towns Albury and Wodonga. From Melbourne, the 300 kilometre trip takes you along the Hume Highway, to the Great Alpine Road which you follow until the Beechworth turn off. Continue straight through Beechworth and 23 kilometres down the road you will find the turn off to Yackandandah.
