HEATHCOTE WELCOMES YOU
Nestled in the rural heart of central Victoria, the town of Heathcote lies beneath the McHarg and the McIvor Ranges with a resident population of around 3,500 – a far cry from the 35,000 at the height of the search for gold in the 1850s. Situated on the Northern Highway, at the junction of two major highways, Heathcote is only 120 km north of Melbourne (an easy one and half hours picturesque drive).
