A Secret Creek to Beat the Heat

We took a trip out to Beechworth to a place Phillip discovered on one of his motorcycle outings. There is a gorge that runs through Beechworth and there's a creek through the gorge that runs over a granite base. Over the years the water has carved pools into the rock and many are deep enough to either swim or soak in.

As you might guess the rocks are slippery and our little dog had a hard time getting her footing. We all had a wonderful time and it definitely cooled us down on a hot day. It was one of those off the beaten path kind of places and we were happy to find it.

Beechworth was one of the famous gold mining towns in the mid 1800's and has been preserved almost like it was back then. It’s a hot tourist spot, but the creek isn’t something the regular tourist would find. Hope to find more places like it.


You might ask what this picture of the bird is. It's a Kookabura. You can't really tell but he has a lizard in his mouth he just scooped up. The picture to the left is in one of the pools that had a small tunnel through from one to the other.
