Great Ocean Road & Grampians Adventure

I have just filled in the review for Inspiration I am confused about which company organised it we have Intrepid., Inspiration and Tour Radar. I found the organisation poor and the amount of detail given to passengers lacking and confusing as other passengers had different details at times eg. the number of breakfasts some had 3 others had 5. The tour guide was not given enough details as he often had to ring the office for clarification eg. which motel we were booked into. We were not informed of the starting point and I had to ring to find out and then it was very vague eg told The Melbourne GAllery but we went there and it was closed so looked up the street to find the bus in a gutter with the doors open so assumed it was the one. The guide was excellent and deserves a pat on the back for his patience when he was not informed of details of motels or meal arrangements. We saw a great deal of very interesting views and places. Well worth the upsets and confusion .but very hesitant to use your company again due to lack of organisation .

  I take this opportunity to say that my sister & I had a truly wonderful trip and we both thoroughly enjoyed it..we don't get many opportunities to spend a lot of time together so it was a very special experience for us...suffice to say - "the opera" was amazing and it was the type of experience that I will remember forever! To be out under the stars on a beautiful evening in among the amazing trees in the crisp mountain air was truly special in my mind. How lucky we were to have had the chance to do that! Also my big thanks to Kevin for his usual wonderful care and thought for each of us while we were on the trip. He certainly has a unique way with him, to be able to shepherd us "oldies" around without us feeling he is doing so! Such patience and with his cheerful manner too! He always makes the trips so enjoyable for us all. I look forward to being able to take some more holidays with you in the future. Take care everyone...   Janet:  Opera in the Alps - March 2020

  Just a quick thank you for our very enjoyable day to see Chicago including a very pleasant lunch stop at Albert Park Lake. Thanks Kevin for picking our group of 12 up at Mt Martha House Community House, it was a perfect location for us and a big thank you for such great seats, we loved the show and had a great time. None of my group had travelled with you before and I was thrilled that as usual you met all my expectations.   Joy:  Chicago Matinee

  What a great Christmas in Echuca, we were taken care of so professionally, Kevin was the ultimate tour guide & expert coach driver. We were both so pleased to make the decision to do some thing “ different “ for Christmas, Ang & Laurie at the motel went out of their way to make sure we all enjoyed the festive season. Thank you, Kevin, Ang & Laurie for all the attention to detail that allowed us to have the best Christmas ever!!! Fond regards   Athalie:  Christmas in Echuca 2019

  Just wanted to thank you for the effort you put in on my behalf re the gluten free. I had a number of choices of meal at the Sporting Club , choice being a real treat for me and the gluten free biscuits for my morning tea had been put aside so that I could take what I wanted before they were put out for the others. A good move as the biscuits disappeared very quickly. It was a lovely day out, Kevin doing a great job as usual and I wish you, Kevin and everyone at Daytripper who work so hard for us, a wonderful Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year.   Anna:  Christmas Cruise 2019

  Just a short note to say how much I loved Lord Howe island. The scenery was stunning. I enjoyed the boat trips and walks. The information sessions were interesting. The people were helpful. I needed a trip to the Doctors and was given a lift and asked if I needed one back. When I said I didn't Janine showed me a nice walk back. And as usual Kevin was very patient. I am looking forward to another trip. Thanks again.   Marian:  Lord Howe Island 2019

  We had the best day, sunshine, sat down eating little Dutch cakes (yummmmmm) listening to rather lovely music. I bought the cd. Back to being kids again, went for ride in the train, waved to everyone. Of course with Kevin the usual cheeky banter went on.   Erica:  Tesslears Tulip Festival

  I have just returned from the Silo Art Trail trip (I was with the Probus group) and it exceeded my expectations. I was so impressed with the way Daytrippers had organised to utilise the locals....from ladies providing scrumptious lunches and morning teas....to local guides explaining the Silo Art. Julie at Sealake was a powerhouse, and the unexpected view of the night sky with the visiting astronomer was magical. My travelling companion and I agreed we felt as if we were in an episode of Heather Ewart’s ‘Backroads’....and this trip shone a light on how hard the farmers have to work to simply make ends meet. Kevin, as usual, was the epitome of patience, and drove so well, despite often less than favourable weather conditions. Thanks from one happy customer!   Jill:  Silo Art Trail 2019

  A huge thank you to everyone at Daytrippers who were responsible for organising the Silos Art Trail Tour - yes, I absolutely loved last weeks trip. It was so very much more than I was expecting, and obviously carefully researched & planned to give us a real immersion into all the wonderful places we visited & warm country hospitality wherever we went. We saw great pride in their townships & communities, & determination to preserve all aspects of their history, which they share generously with visitors. The resourcefulness, ingenuity, hard work & willingness to pull together to survive & improve things for the community, was humbling. I found the trip eye opening, great fun & uplifting to the spirit. Kevin was the perfect tour leader-driver & much appreciated. A genuine peoples- person, he is knowledgeable, blessed with boundless energy, patient, knowledgeable, resourceful & good humoured. We were a group of seniors with varying degrees of mobility, diet requirements, quirks, & requests that cropped up - Kevin took all that into consideration - a great asset & credit to Daytrippers. Hope I travel with you again - Cheers !   Emese:  Silo Art Trail 2019

  Thank you sooo much for a great trip yesterday . Everyone, without exception, had a wonderful day. I have had phone calls and emails from our Probus club members to say what a good experience they had. Even visiting the city was something that some members don’t do these days. The commentary on the boat was very interesting and we learnt quite a bit. Of course the drivers were fabulous!! They looked after us very well.   Sherry (Local Probus Club):  Yarra River Cruise 2019

  Great trip yesterday. We had our first trip away with Daytripper to Canberra,Cooma etc in October to test the "waters!" so to speak and what a great time we had, Thanks to Kevin & his diligence & care. So yesterday to Evita was easy to choose. Once again another great time. It was a great adventure for me because the trip both in & out to the city was about seeing all the places where I lived & played as a younger person. Grace got sick of me telling her what I did there ...& there ,all the way from Moorabbin, to Brighton, Elwood St Kilda, and back home again. One way of reliving ones heyday just by busing it . Tell Kevin to keep up his hand strength to help me off the Bus! Thank you all again.   Thelma:  Evita Matinee 2018

  A terrific day was had by everyone ( 21 members of a Probus Club )who were on the trip. Kevin our driver looked after us to perfection, especially on our outward trip to Lower Tarwin, it rained which made it difficult for morning tea. Kevin, called into Coal Creek, he dashed inside at the Information Centre and ” Presto “ , we went inside to their Auditorium, where we had Morning tea in the Dry. The Tour of Tullaree was terrific, our host Tim was terrific in explaining the history of Tullarre and the events of “ THE LADY IN THE SWAMP “ . The tour of the Renovated Home was a delight and a credit to Tim and Janet. A great day out, A BIG Thank You ,to “ Day Tripper “   Dennis (Probus Club):  Lady of the Swamp Day Trip - 2018

  We had a wonderful and very interesting trip away, could not have been better. I asked people to write comments in a little book I had. What came up the most was apart from the spectacular scenery and interesting places and guides was the fun, laughter, companionship and how good Kevin was as our driver. Kevin, you also went to no end of trouble to find interesting places to take us to and tell us about. Also being obliging and kind in every way looking after us and taking us to one of the passengers house where she grew up. We all had a ball, I have had letters and emails telling me how wonderful it was all being away together and how well everyone got on.   Helen (Local Probus Club):  Bright 2018

  Meant to send this email on Wednesday after our trip to see "Beautiful" it was a fantastic show and we were very well looked after - having the lunch included is a great idea it was all so fresh and scrummy also it saves us looking around for somewhere to eat when we arrive at the Theatre so thank you so much   Wendy:  Beautiful Matinee 2018

  Yesterday we went to see Dream Lover. That was the beginning of a really lovely day. We were taken to Brighton gardens for lunch, a lovely lunch, very healthy I might add, where Kevin was the perfect host, looked after us very well. We were once again picked up and taken to the theatre, enjoyed the show immensely. We would, without hesitation recommend matinee days out with Day Tripper All in all a wonderful day. Thank you very much.   Erica:  Dream Lover Matinee 2018

  Congratulations and thanks to you and to Kevin for an absolutely superb day yesterday. From start to finish the occasion deserved 10/10 plus The fantastic chauffeur, the delicious lunch in beautiful surroundings, best seats in the house and a drive that was relaxing and enjoyable (for the passengers......congratulations to Kevin for navigating incredible traffic conditions). Again, thank you and well done.   Anne:  My Fair Lady Matinee 2017

  While I’m still on a high I want to say the Tassie trip was just great, I don’t know but each trip I do seems to be the best. I just love your trips and could not find anything to complain about, even when it rains Kevin all ways comes up with something. And i think Wade may have had a great time as well, even though we did keep him busy. Thanks once again guys you are the best.   Lynda:  Tassie East Coast 2020

  The trip was fantastic and the ferry across the bay was lovely. I had not done that before. Kevin as usual was his patient self. He organised the sun to come out while we were at the festival. The food was great and to have fresh fruit salad on the menu every night was a bonus. We did lots of interesting activities.   Marian:  Ballarat Begonia Festival 2020

  Well how lucky were we to be able to go on this tour in view of all the cancellations! I just wanted to thank you Kevin for all your attention to detail and, of course, safe driving. We both enjoyed all the scenic routes you took us on and the food, food, food. You certainly didn’t let us go hungry!😀 The Motel was excellent and the hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. Then there was the Opera. What a wonderful night. Again we were so lucky with the weather. Everything was perfect. This had always been on my bucket list so now I can tick that off! Thanks again to you all for making these few days away so enjoyable.   Margaret:  Opera in the Alps - 2020

Beechworth, Victoria

Articles about Victoria and recent history to senior couples and solo travellers exploring Australia on a small group tour. This article features Beechworth a historic gold rush town in regional Victoria.

6 Apr 21 · 8 mins read

By Marco Stojanovik

Historic Beechworth, situated in north east Victoria between Wangaratta and Wodonga, is one of Australia’s best-preserved towns from the gold rush era. Having avoided modernisation of much of its built environment, it is home to 32 elegant National Trust -listed buildings, most of which were constructed in the 1860s. They sit along beautiful wide tree-lined streetscapes, by graceful 19th century houses and attractive parks and gardens, in a picturesque setting in the foothills of the Australian Alps. Visitors can soak up the dignified air of this charming town as they explore the town’s fascinating, opulent history as a once thriving regional centre. Odyssey Traveller conducts a tour of Beechworth as part of our 16-day small group tour of Victoria for senior traveller s. We explore the town’s historic precinct , comprising of the town’s old Court House, Telegraph Station, Town Hall, a museum, and goal which at one time housed the infamous bushranger Ned Kelly. We also take an afternoon walk along one of Beechworth’s scenic hiking trails. This article explores the gold rush history and historic public buildings of Beechworth to assist your tour.

The Gold Rush in Beechworth

The area around Beechworth was originally used for grazing by the settler David Reid , who first explored the area in 1839 and named it May Day Hills. He built a woolshed which led to the naming of Woolshed Creek and later the Woolshed Goldfield.

It was one of Reid’s former shepherds, a man named James Meldrum, who in February 1852 first discovered gold at Spring Creek, sparking the Beechworth Gold Rush . By the end of the year, over 8,000 hopeful prospectors had descended on the region’s alluvial gold fields in search of their fortunes. And many struck it rich, with over 18,000 ounces of gold leaving for Melbourne each fortnight.

A calico-and-canvas settlement quickly formed; and by June 1853, the Government Surveyor Henry Wilson Hutchinson Smythe had arrived in the area to measure out streets. On July 1, 1853, the township of Beechworth was proclaimed, named after Smythe’s hometown in Leicestershire, England. Mining families and businesses soon arrived to support the growing community, bringing rapid social and economic change and transforming the remote and rugged area into a thriving regional centre.

Surrounding areas and mining camps were soon established as gold was discovered along the water at sites such as Spring Creek, Reedy Creek, Silver Creek, the Nine Mile Creek and the Woolshed. At the peak of the gold rush, Beechworth town had over 3,100 residents, while the population of the greater Ovens District rose to around 22,000.

Miners came from around the world to dig and sluice for gold, from the United States, United Kingdom and Asia . Chinese miners began to arrive en masse on the Victorian diggings in 1853. By the early 1860s they were predominant in the Ovens District, with an estimated 7,000 on the local fields, the largest Chinese population in the country outside of Melbourne .

Like many diggers on the early goldfields, a large population of these Chinese died of various ailments resulting from working in the wet of the creek, shaft or drive, grouped under the title ‘fever’. They were therefore amongst the most generous donors for the building of the old Ovens District Hospital in Church Street in 1856-7. Beechworth’s finest example of stone masonry is the noble granite portico and façade of the old hospital, retained when the rest of the building was demolished and restored in 1967

Beechworth Cemetery, which opened in 1857, today has a large, preserved section of early Chinese miners and pioneers, with hundreds of small headstones each inscribed with Chinese characters. In front are the twin ceremonial burning towers, devices to transmit offerings to the dead.

Historic Beechworth Public Buildings

Timber structures soon replaced the woven shelters of the firstcomers. By 1856, the year that Beechworth was claimed as a Municipal District, the town consisted of a number of shingle-topped weather board buildings including a post office, bookstore, police camp, police store, Warden’s House and gaol.

A number of nationally significant buildings soon followed, built using the wealth from the gold rush. By 1857 numerous churches, banks, schools, shops, and hotels, as well as the Ovens District Hospital had all been erected. Beechworth quickly became the administrative centre of Victoria’s northeast, and in the period 1857-60 the weatherboard government offices were replaced by a tough complex of public buildings, constructed of local honey-textured granite.

This included a magnificent group of five buildings grouped together along Ford Street in a line of classic architectural simplicity carried through by the rhythmic sweep of gently pitched verandas. These include the Electric Telegraph Station, today functioning as the District Survey Office; the Court House; the Sub-Treasury and Gold Office, which is today’s Police Station; and two Police Buildings, now the Forestry Offices.

Across William Street from the Police Station, the government constructed a massive new goal in 1859-60, made from granite. It was part of a major period of goal construction in Victoria between 1857 and 1864, each conforming to a new English concept in pressing design called the panopticon, where radiating wing cells could be kept under observation from a central hub. The goal was enclosed by high perimeter walls with observation towers and stone gateways flanked by staff living quarters.

Beechworth Goal is also significant for its associations with the famous bushranger Ned Kelly . He served six months here in 1870-71 for assault and was held here during his committal trial for murder in 1880. Twenty-one suspected Kelly sympathisers were also held here without trial or evidence for over three months in 1879 in an attempt to limit the support for the Kelly Gang.

The Beechworth Athenaeum library was built in 1857 on Lock Street. The Beechworth council bought the building in 1860 and decided to add a museum, which was named in the honour of Robert O’Hara Burke – former Beechworth Superintendent of Police – when he perished a year later at Cooper’s Creek in the fatal Burke and Wills expedition . Today one of the finest local history museums in Australia, the collection includes objects from the famous expedition, as well as more than 30,000 other individual items exploring the history of Beechworth.

The Town Hall , located in Ford Street and now home to the local Visitor Information Centre, was built in 1859. It was designed by architects J.J. Coe and Thomas Dalziel and built in granite by local contractors Donald and William Fiddes. In 1889m the original front to the building was replaced by a new two-store section. The hall consists of five bays intersected by pilasters and is designed in a classical idiom.

Located in Skidmore Avenue, the Beechworth Power Magazine was constructed in 1859-60, also of granite. This is a small, buttressed room built for storing gunpowder and other explosives used in blasting for gold. It was erected on a ridge across the deep and rugged gorge which formed a western boundary for the town. The unique design of the building ensured that any explosion would be minimised by the building’s structure: its double-arched foundations and arched inner roof are so that an explosion would be directed upwards.

On Albert Road is the now decommissioned Beechworth Lunatic Asylum (Mayday Hills). Built in 1867 it served as one of the largest psychiatric hospitals in Victoria for 128 years and is now a National Trust building. At its peak the extensive complex had 67 buildings built of brick in the Italianate-style and was home to over 1200 patients and 500 staff.

Dominating the town’s main intersection at Ford and Camp Streets is the Post Office. It was built in 1870 to replace the old one destroyed in a terrible fire of 1867, which devastated most of the block of Camp Street. The two storey Italianate brick structure incorporates a stone portico on the ground floor, as well as a square clock tower. On the street is an unusual iron drinking fountain with spouts in the shape of a lion’s head.

Large public works followed in the 1870s, including the Lake Kerferd Water Works and the railway link with Wangaratta. Industries at this time included a flour mill, sawmills, soap works, tanneries, foundries, breweries, coachbuilding establishments, agricultural and wine production.

Beechworth’s growth continued until the early 1880s, when the mines began to peter out and many of the town’s industries disappeared. Since then, its population has remained at somewhat over 3,000 people. The substantial investments made in the public institutions have since maintained Beechworth’s economic strength, continuing to attract tourists after the gold years up to now.

Tour of Beechworth

Odyssey Traveller visits Beechworth as part of our 16-day escorted small group tour of Victoria for the senior or mature traveller who enjoys learning, whether as a couple or solo traveller . This escorted tour explores an area of central Victoria that is rich in historic houses, gorgeous gardens, and some amazing art. Like other small group tours, this small group tour of Victoria takes you off the beaten track to find the great historic attractions that are found locally. But no Phillip island or Penguin parade on this group tour!

Our small group tour of Victoria for the senior traveller with an interest in Australian history is concerned primarily with the colonial history of the state of Victoria and the impact of Europeans on the region. We will travel a circular route north from Melbourne through Ballarat and Castlemaine as far north as the Murray River , before turning east to Beechworth and then back south again through Benalla and the Yarra Valley, and then, back to Melbourne.

We look particularly at a number of historic houses and gardens established by 19th century European settlers and at the art which they collected and continue to collect and create to this day. It was the gold rushes of the 1850s which ensured Victoria’s initial prosperity and we concentrate our tour on a number of gold rush towns as well as areas made rich by agriculture, viticulture and pastoral activities. A number of the towns we visit on the road, as a day tour, had their glory days in the second half of the 19th century when wealth from mining led to a rush of substantial public and private buildings being built. When the gold ran out a number of the towns slipped into obscurity and were consequently preserved with their Victorian era characteristics intact.

Recent tour reviews

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip as a senior.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises). However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Learn more about Intrepid's COVID-19 policy

Who are Intrepid travelers?

Intrepid adventures are for travelers with a yearning to get off the beaten track. Whether you're traveling solo, with a group of friends, or are aged 18 or 70, there is an Intrepid adventure to suit your interests and comfort level. Each Intrepid adventure has a physical and cultural grading to help you decide if the trip is right for you. No special skills are required for most adventures, just a sense of adventure and a curiosity about the world. Even on our camping adventures no previous experience is required; our tents are easy to set up, even for first-time campers. 

Are there age restrictions on your trips?

For the majority of our trips the minimum age is 15. An adult must accompany all children under the age of 18. Our Overland Adventures have a minimum age of 18. Younger children can join us on our Family trips and Short Break Adventures, but check each trip for its minimum age, which is located on the trip’s overview page on the website. Most of our trips don’t have a maximum age limit, but a Self-Assessment Form is required for all passengers 70 years and over. 

How many people will be on my trip?

Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through communities without intimidating the locals. On most of our trips you’ll be part of an intimate group of 12-16 people, though our group sizes are on average 10 people. Our Overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 24 travelers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website. 

I’m traveling alone – is that OK?

This is the beauty of the Intrepid style of travel: many of our travelers join because they are traveling solo and want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people.

Learn more about solo travel

I have a disability – can I join an Intrepid trip?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. We ask that you carefully consider whether you are physically and mentally able to complete the itinerary you have chosen, recognizing that on many trips you will be required to carry your own bags and use public transport. 

Where we can we will make reasonable adjustments to the operation of our trips to facilitate the requirements of disabled travelers – such as booking ground floor accommodation, or having our leaders communicate important directions in writing as well as verbally. Many travelers with disabilities have been able to enjoy our trips by traveling with a friend or companion who can assist with specific needs. If joining a group trip is not practical we may be able to provide you with a private departure. Please contact our sales team for further information on any of our itineraries. 

Learn more about accessible travel with Intrepid

Do I need to buy travel insurance?

Travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips if you’re traveling internationally. Minimum coverage may differ from trip to trip, so make sure you check the Travel Insurance section in your Essential Trip Information. You will not be permitted to join the group until your leader has sighted your insurance policy number and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number – it’s really important there are no barriers to getting emergency assistance for you. 

Will I have my own room?

It's your call. Rooming on our trips is organized on a twin-share basis, but most of our trips also have the option to pay an extra fee for your own room. Just let us know at the time of booking and we'll arrange it for you. 

For twin-share rooms, we pair up solo travelers with another traveler of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports. As a responsible tour operator, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. In the case that your gender identity differs from what's indicated on your passport, please contact us so that we can discuss rooming options with you. 

On a small selection of itineraries some accommodations are booked on an open-gender, multi-share basis. In those instances it will clearly be stated in your Essential Trip Information. 

How does group time work?

Whether you’re traveling alone or with a partner, our trips have a set itinerary. But within that there’s time set aside for your own exploration (if you want to – no pressure). Depending on how you're feeling, you may want to have some downtime, ask your guide for a few tips then head out alone, or hang out with the group and see where the day takes you. 

What makes a small group tour better than a coach tour?

The main difference between a small group tour and a coach tour is the size of the group; our tours have 10 travelers each (on average) while coaches can hold up to 60 people. This means that you'll never have to vie for your leader's attention on a small group tour because you'll automatically have it.
