Evidence of this prosperity can be seen in the sturdy stone buildings and the imposing courthouse, a silent witness to tales of bushrangers and frontier justice. Today, the local economy thrives on a blend of tourism, drawn by its historical significance and natural beauty, and the cultivation of its fertile surrounds, producing award-winning wines and high-quality produce. The Indigo Shire, of which Beechworth is a jewel, benefits from this multifaceted approach, maintaining a sense of proud independence while welcoming travellers keen to explore its storied past and present.
