Woolshed Falls

Looking down at Woolshed Falls from the overlook


Woolshed Falls tumbles and cascades on Reids Creek, which attracted diggers and miners trying to get at what was said to be the richest goldfields in
Victoria.

This bit of history wasn't lost on us as we learned from the signs there that the gold was mined since its discovery in 1853. But these days, it seems like a quiet place once again as a good deal of the mining is now way over in WA, I'm sure. Yet I could still envision prospectors along the banks of the creek panning for gold or digging nearby. It just has that vibe.

When we were there in November 2006, the falls was still flowing but not impressively. I'm sure the drought didn't help. Still, this waterfall looked like one of those that would be best seen after a good volume of rain (see the falls in full flow here). However, I'm unsure of how long of a season it has under a more "normal" rainfall year.

Directions: From the twin towns of Aubury-Wodonga on the Victoria/New South Wales border, we drove about 37km towards Beechworth on the Beechworth-Wodonga Rd (C315). Then, we turned right onto the Beechworth-Chiltern Rd and then left onto McFeeter's Rd, which leads to the falls.

Woolshed Falls is about 5km north of Beechworth.
