In northeast Victoria, Australia, Indigo Shire is where gold rush history meets a bold new vision for a greener future. Bordered by the Murray River and the Australian Alps, the towns of Beechworth, Yackandandah, Chiltern, and Rutherglen have evolved into thriving spots for heritage, food, wine, and relaxed pace. Tourism leaders here are eagerly paving the way for a more inclusive tourism future by working closely with Indigenous groups, championing biodiversity protection initiatives, and seeking to reduce carbon emissions. It’s a great place to try out new ways of travel and living, too. An extensive cycling infrastructure connects towns, offering a low-impact way to explore the region’s history.
