The box–ironbark woodland of Rushworth State Forest defines the setting of Rushworth — dry eucalypt country forms a wooded backdrop to a town serving the surrounding rural district. Gold discoveries in 1853 brought rapid growth to this part of central Victoria, and that era remains visible in Rushworth’s broad High Street and surviving nineteenth-century buildings. The town sits amid farming country and protected forest, away from Victoria’s coastal cities but firmly connected to the story of the state’s inland goldfields.
