This tourism, business and community based website was pioneered in 1998 for the Beechworth community by
WWW.ART Design Services. The success of
beechworth.com has seen it grow and develop into a well integrated and informative website that caters for a wide spectrum of needs. Our local community through to the international traveler will find helpful information.
beechworth.com provides well researched and up to date information for:
- travelers to Beechworth from interstate, overseas and the region
- our local business community
- background information for new residents to Beechworth
- students researching Beechworth's fascinating history
- visitors and residents who wish to learn more about local community activities
- patrons to our festivals and events scheduled throughout the year
- wedding, conference and meeting organisers
- education facilitators
- eco-tourism, bushwalking and cycling enthusiasts
- the getaway couple wanting to find that special B&B, great local wine and delicious cuisine
- and the shopper that is after something different from specialty jewelry and clothing to art and antiques!
In July 2007 beechworth.com was rebuilt to the design and branding of the current Beechworth Visitors' Guide (produced by Indigo Shire Council). Each section has been reviewed and where required re-written. New headings have
been identified for ease of finding information and areas expanded to cater
for our growing participating subscribers.
We wish to acknowledge the support of business, individuals and organisations who subscribe to this co-operative marketing initiative for our town.
Development has lead to a comprehensive and colourful website that successfully
promotes Beechworth to Australia and the rest of the world!

Visitor Feedback
One of the best sites I have seen dedicated to a town. I have traveled to Beechworth many times and understand its own unique charm. I think you have captured that on this website. Great pictures and informative information. It covers everything that anyone would like or need to know. Peter Vexxu
"I have never been to Beechworth but have always pictured the town as scenic, historic and romantic, just as you painted it. I am definitely visiting Beechworth in the near future....." Robyn Rainford
"Thank you... for a very well designed, easy to use and very informative website." Toni Lancaster
"My husband and I are keen to move and raise a family in Beechworth as of next year. Website's such as yours are an invaluable guide for couples such as us and those wishing to holiday in and around the Beechworth township. Knowing that there's plenty of community spirit (as is evident by
Beechworth's festivities and celebrations) certainly re-affirms our decision to abandon Melbourne!" Aisling Kotow
Thank you for your site, I found it most useful. I booked Black Springs by phone as they have no internet. For accommodation I found your Pets facility very useful as we travel with our small dog so this saved us numerous calls to ask hosts if they would allow pets.
I’ve also booked the Bank for dinner via email from your site and have earmarked a few of the other places that we will visit.
I’ve used a lot of the sightseeing information that you provide. The 5 day touring ideas are great.
We’ll be in Beechworth for four days in July. Sharen Alcock
An excellent website! Beautiful town and sites. Very good family accommodation facilities. Tammie
Excellent website! Beechworth has an absolute relaxing atmosphere. Great place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Also easy to get to other places like Mt. Bogong. Alex
