Heathcote suburb profile

Heathcote is a compact country town in central Victoria that sits at the heart of the Heathcote wine region, surrounded by red-soil vineyards and box-ironbark bushland with Heathcote-Graytown National Park nearby. The town centre has a historic feel with cafes, a pub and local shops, while housing ranges from timber and brick cottages on tree-lined streets to larger rural properties and hobby farms on the outskirts. The lifestyle is quietly rural with ready access to cellar doors, bushwalking and local services, and the McIvor Highway provides a straightforward road link to Bendigo and other regional centres.
