Beechworth Tree Walks

Walking Mayday Hills BEECHWORTH These walks will take you around the precinct of the former Beechworth Lunatic Asylum, later Mayday TREE WALKS Hills Hospital. The main building dates back to 1867 and over time there were nearly 40 buildings. The Hospital was one of Victoria’s three major country MAYDAY HILLS asylums for about 130 years until its closure in 1995. At its peak in the 1960s, the Hospital housed 1000 patients. Surrounded by nearly 290 acres of farmland, Mayday Hills was completely self-su cient with a farm, piggery, orchards, kitchen gardens, tennis courts and its own theatre.

The gardens cover an area of 27 acres. They were planted in the late 19th century as a botanical setting of exotic trees and shrubs, donated by the Royal Botanical Gardens in Melbourne. The gardens are set against a backdrop of magnicent native trees, most notably Brittle Gums. National Trust (Victoria) has recently classied over 200 Mayday Hills trees as signicant at a Regional or State level. The tallest tree in the gardens is a 50 metre high Douglas Fir, seen on the White Oak Walk.

The original garden design was by a patient, Robert Coates. The gardens were extended and improved over the years by Mr Hugh Linaker in 1912, by Dr Farren Ridge in 1930 and in the 1980s by Mr Colin This pamphlet was prepared by Gladstone and Manager Mr Doug Craig who over- saw its modern transformation, including the establishment of The Glades near the Linaker Hotel.

Each of the three walks takes up to one hour. Please wear comfortable shoes, as the walks For more information, see include stretches of rough grass as well as paved www.beechworthonline.com.au/pages/ sections. We hope you will enjoy the beauty and beechworthtreescapegroup tranquillity of these gardens and trees and we encourage you to visit again in the splendour of Published 2014 © spring or autumn.
