Beaufort is a historic town in Victoria, founded in the Gold Rush days of 1860's. Once bustling with activity and expectancy as the new frontiers were explored and riches uncovered, Beaufort has evolved through its short history to become a township typical of rural southern Australia.

Nowadays, Beaufort is a service center and an important town with shops, amenities and daily life facilities for the inhabitants of the surrounding areas. Industry focuses on the production of wool, farming, quarrying, mining and forestry. It has schools, churches, garages and all the businesses you'd need for a countryside town.
