Melbourne to Moama via Kilmore & Heathcote

• Driving Time - 3 hours
• Distance - 220 kms

Melbourne

Melbourne is Victoria’s capital and provides non-stop activity and 24 hour entertainment. There is an almost endless range of places to eat, things to do and places to go. Melbourne is renowned for its quality restaurants, theatres, galleries, museums, shopping, gardens and major attractions.

Beveridge

A small township located 42 km north of Melbourne along the Hume Highway Beveridge is located in the fertile Goulburn Valley. Although a small town with just over 100 inhabitants, Beveridge will have a permanent place in Australian history because it was the birthplace of legendary bushranger, Ned Kelly. The town boasts several impressive historic buildings including the Kelly family homestead, the former Roman Catholic Church, and the historic old post office building.

Things to do:

• Visit the Kelly family home
• Wallan Woolshed - see sheep being shorn & herded, eat a traditional meal
• Historic buildings - Roman Catholic Church, Old Post Office
• Beveridge Birdworld - giant hedge maze, picnic facilities, bird complex, animal nursery, playground

Kilmore

Kilmore is located 62km north of Melbourne on the Northern Highway. Kilmore means 'great church' which is derived from Gaelic. The town has a strong focus on racing and it hosts some major horseracing events, including the Kilmore Cup and the Kilmore Pacing Cup, Australia's richest provincial harness racing event. Festivals and events include the Kilmore Celtic Festival in July, the Kilmore Harness Racing Carnival in October, the Highland Games in November and the Agricultural Show in early December.

Things to do:

• Visit the Mt William Winery to enjoy excellent wines in a garden setting
• Go for a tour through the Old Kilmore Gaol
• Whitburgh Cottage - the town's oldest surviving house
• Wander around town and admire the historic bluestone buildings
• Pack a picnic and head to Hudson Park
• Tramway Museum - tram rides and an extensive display of cable cars & trams

Heathcote

Heathcote is a small rural township nestled amidst box ironbark forests, with a strong historical background dating from the 1850’s. Heathcote’s physical and social attributes – the climate, the nearby peaceful bush environment, the friendly people make Heathcote unique. Located at the junction of two major highways, Heathcote is a convenient distance from Melbourne, Bendigo, Echuca and other large towns. Heathcote boasts a range of tourism interests - historical and cultural; National and State parks, relics from the gold rush days, and a burgeoning wine industry. Bushwalking, cycling, photography, wildflowers, bird watching, sightseeing, gold prospecting and gemstone fossicking are some of the town’s main attractions.

Echuca - Moama

From the Aboriginal word meaning ‘meeting of the water’, Echuca is one of Victoria's oldest river towns. At one time Echuca was the state's most substantial inland river port. Paddle steamers traded along the Murray and Darling Rivers almost as far as the Queensland border and brought their cargoes of wool to Echuca for transport to the Port of Melbourne, with much of the wool going for export from Melbourne to London.
It is this aspect of its history that has become the basis for the town's reputation as a tourism centre, particularly since the restoration of the old port area began in 1973. Paddle steamers again travel the local waters, albeit for purely recreational and nostalgic purposes. Moreover, the survival of many original buildings has enabled a meaningful renovation of the old streetscape and the wharf now offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience a working steam port. Visitors can take a relaxing one hour cruise aboard one of the authentic paddle steamers or a leisurely one hour stroll on a self guided tour of the Echuca Wharf or simply wander around the Port all day.
The township is also the perfect base for a water-based holiday with its location right on the Murray River, its warm Mediterranean climate, and the myriad of water based activities on offer.
