Avoca suburb profile
Avoca is a small historic town in central Victoria's Pyrenees region, centred on the Avoca River and marked by a compact main street of heritage buildings and older cottages. Born of the gold rush, the town now acts as a service centre for surrounding grazing and cropping country and sits close to vineyards and rolling hills, so the lifestyle is quietly rural with a steady stream of weekend visitors to the wine region. Residents find a mix of period homes in town and larger rural properties on the outskirts, with river walks, parkland and basic community facilities giving it a relaxed, country-town feel.
