On This Day

Many thanks to Leo our morse code guru at the Beechworth Telegraph Station for the interesting information about Beechworth.

On Tuesday 29th June 1880
9.00am Ned Kelly carried to the train for the journey to Melbourne, taken from the train at North Melbourne and conveyed by horse dawn vehicle to Melbourne Goal.

11.00 Telegraph sent by John Arundel of the Beechworth Burke Museum to the state secretary requesting that Kelly’s armour be given to museum.

Dan Kelly and Steve Hart buried at Greta Cemetary.

Boxes of Brochures!

Anne has gone crazy and ordered boxes and boxes of Parks Victoria Notes for our visitors. The School Holidays are fast approaching and we need loads of brochures

“Should I order brochures before they run out? Or should I just order them when they run out and then wait for them to be sent?” says Anne….

I can assure you that we will have brochures available.

If you would like information about Beechworth's Parks, please call into the Beechworth Visitor Information Centre, we are open from 9am to 5pm, 7 days.

See you there!

Today's Tricky Question

Today's Tricky Question:

"I am trying to find the name of a stage hypnotherapist that had previously performed in Beechworth on several occasions. I would really appreciate if you could forward this information."

I have no idea. I will have to chat to Doreen about this one on Friday.

Does anyone else have any ideas?
