The Gorge
At the top end of Whiskey Flat, Messes Edwards and party constructed a tail race in 1859.
This was deepened in the early 1880's and now forms the gorge which diverts the creek from its former course.
A two to three minute walk takes you to the gorge, two man made stone diversion walls and through an area that
was extensively mined. Return to town the same way turning right into Windham Street.

Former Beechworth Yackandandah Railway Station.
With great ceremony the first train ran on this line in 1891, after some years of pressure for improved transport.
On the steep inclines from Beechworth sand had to be placed on the lines in frosty weather. (see map at tourist centre)

Yackandandah General Cemetery
Established on its present site in 1859, the cemetery contains memorials and stories of many of the district's pioneers.
Up the hill and to the right there is an area reserved for Chinese graves. Research into those buried here can be done

Allans Flat
David Reid settled at Allans Flat in 1845 and a Cairn at the entrance to the Reserve on the southern side of the lake
commemorates this event. Gold diggers were active in this area from the 1850's till the 1890's.
The lake was created by barge mining, with alluvial gold extracted from the rock bottom of this valley from the 1890's till 1904.

a bootmaker a blacksmith and a butcher as well as other traders and a school.
The main street ran close to where the road runs today. The original township has been "picked over" for gold as a barge
went up the creek mining the area. The gold from the diggings was then taken by horse and dray to Yackandandah.
