It’s the perfect spot to connect with nature and take in the stunning landscape.
2. Beechworth Historic Precinct Spend your morning immersed in Beechworth’s rich history at the Historic Precinct. Discover the fascinating tales within the walls of the old Courthouse, where it all began for Ned Kelly. This is the place where his mother, Ellen, was sentenced to three years in jail, sparking the uprising of one of Australia’s greatest icons. It’s a captivating journey through time that you won’t want to miss.
3. Lakeside Fish & Chips When lunchtime rolls around, head to the local fish shop The Aged Frog, for a taste of traditional fish and chips with a twist. Their famous sweet potato cakes are a must-try, and the spiced cauliflower dunked in homemade batter served with Greek herbed yogurt won’t disappoint. Grab a little pack of goodies and warm your lap with your parcel as you make the short two-minute drive to Lake Sambell for a scenic lakeside lunch.
4. A Lap Around the Lake Sambell’s ‘Sandy Beach’ Lake Sambell’s ‘Sandy Beach’ is a picnicker’s paradise and the perfect starting point for an afternoon walk. Beechworth offers a variety of short, family-friendly walks, from guided tours around historic streets to nature-filled bush walks. Take a leisurely lap around the lake and soak in the serene surroundings. It’s a wonderful way to spend your afternoon.
