Golden History of Euroa

Euroa is located between Seymour and Benalla, at the gateway to the beautiful Strathbogie Hills. In the 1850s, the town had an unprecedented development boost because of the gold rush. Famous Australian bushranger Ned Kelly was living in Euroa in 1878 when he bravely broke up the National Bank.

Euroa's ancient heart beats today with Binney Street and Railway Street, where heritage buildings from the past stand as reminders of Euroas rich history. Some of the important sites are the Euroa Post Office built in 1890, the elegant Euroa Hotel, which was built in 1884, and Blairgowrie House, which was built around the same time. In 1867, an important chapter was added to European history with the construction of the first Catholic church in Euroa

The Natural and Cultural Landmarks
