Natural Attractions

Beaver Reef Dive Site

Beaver Reef is one of the most popular dive sites off Mission Beach with coral gardens, bommies and sloping coral walls in depths to 22 metres. Off the southern side of the reef is a site called Shark Alley. Cruising the sloping coral wall at this site are a constant parade of pelagic fish and reef sharks. It is common to see several whitetip and blacktip reef sharks on a dive at Shark Alley. The most popular dive site off the northern side of Beaver Reef is Beaver Cay.

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Beechworth Powder Magazine

Restored by the National Trust in 1966, this building is a unique addition to the historic precinct of Beechworth. Built in 1859 at a cost of £1500, the Powder Magazine stored black-powder used for blasting on the goldfields, and miners were required by law to leave bulk gunpowder in the building overnight. The unique design of the building ensured that any explosion would be minimised by the building's structure. Today, visitors can see the engineering that created this sturdy and quite rare building, designed so that any explosion would travel upwards rather than outwards. The Powder Magazine is located a short distance from the centre of town, accessible by car with parking available, or you can take a leisurely bike ride or walk through the historic streets of Beechworth.

Beechworth Telegraph Station

Long before phones and the internet, the Beechworth Telegraph Station connected Beechworth to the wider world. Built in 1858, the Telegraph Station was the region's communications hub, transmitting messages between Melbourne, Sydney and beyond using Morse Code. News travelled at unprecedented speed, including reports relating to Ned Kelly, the Kelly Gang and the siege at Glenrowan. Today, the building offers a fascinating insight into the technology that transformed communication in colonial Australia. Explore original telegraph equipment, discover the work of the surveyors who helped design Beechworth and surrounding towns, and learn how messages were sent across vast distances with a series of clicks and taps. The station is also home to an Oral History Room, where recordings from local residents provide first-hand accounts of life in Beechworth, and exhibitions that explore the town's rich transport and railway history. What makes the Telegraph Station particularly unique is that it remains an active part of the international Morse Code community. With the help of dedicated volunteers, visitors can still send Morse Code messages to other telegraph stations across Australia and around the world. Located opposite the Beechworth Visitor Information Centre and Town Hall, the Telegraph Station offers a hands-on way to discover the people, technology and innovations that helped shape life in regional Australia.
