The Old Beechworth Courthouse

The Beechworth courthouse lasted a long time - built 1858, retired 1989. The building's highlights would definitely be the proceedings involving the notorious outlaw Ned Kelly and his mother, Ellen.

The exterior, the classic stone look for a small town in Australia.


High and low areas of the courthouse. Judges chambers (they get to wear the Santa outfit) and the prisoner waiting room.

The courtroom.


Sobering shackle reminder and the law library.

A look at the leather-clad, colorful books in the library, judicial history on the shelves.
