About this tour
This self-guided 4WD tour starts from the historic town of Aberfeldy and finishes in Woods Point. It takes in the rich history of the Jordan Valley region.
Travel through old gold mining settlements, see heritage sites and relics along the way. Interpretive signs along the way explain the story of miners in search of their fortune.
Enjoy the historic settlements of Red Jacket and Jericho, including the cemeteries.
Campgrounds are south of Woods Point at Comet Flat, or to the north at Jack Scotts.
This tour is best done during the warmer months, when all the roads are open.
