Step back in time
There is something spectacular about Rushworth’s main street. It is so wide and so elegant with historic buildings on either side and a huge median strip.

It must be one of the most impressive main streets in rural Victoria. Rushworth retains its original charm and is surrounded by interesting smaller goldrush towns.
Grab a coffee from Gus & Ollies cafe and take a walk along the street, carefully reading the ‘Walk Through Time’ Community Project plaques on many of the buildings.
Rushworth Easter Heritage Festival
This is a huge day in Rushworth. The whole town comes alive with music, entertainment, stalls, food and a grand parade.
As one of the few National Trust-recognised towns in Victoria, the vintage steam tractors in the street parade and the Moora draught horses that visit the festival on Sunday blend right in with the scenery.
Accompanied by about 100 market stalls selling everything from crafts to fresh fruit and vegetables, you could be convinced you had stepped back in time.
Rushworth Community Market
This is a much smaller version of the heritage market, but no less fantastic, and is held on the third Saturday of each month in High St, Rushworth.
It’s a family friendly market with plants, fresh produce, crafts and giftware, food and wine, olive oil, treasures and much more.
Rushworth Speedway
The Goulburn Valley Auto Club welcomes race fans to the Rushworth Speedway Complex on Nine Mile Rd.
It’s on the edge of the mighty iron bark forest in a secluded bush surrounding, where the sweet sounds of bush life erupt to the scream of engines as the ‘rush’ comes to Rushworth.
