El Dorado and the Woolshed Valley region. El
Dorado is one of the last remaining authentic
country towns in Australia and in recent times
has attracted people seeking a quiet, country
environment and lifestyle within a short distance to
larger towns, downstream from the historic town of
Beechworth. There was no gold found in Eldorado
until the 1850s when it became a thriving gold
rush town.
Eldorado is located 276 km north-east of
Melbourne via the Hume Highway. It is 21 km
east of Wangaratta and 29 km west of Beechworth.
