Bealiba

Bealiba is a small town located in the Shire of Loddon, in the state of Victoria, Australia. Situated approximately 190 kilometers northwest of Melbourne, it lies in the Loddon Valley region.

Historically, Bealiba was a gold mining town, experiencing significant growth during the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s and 1860s. Evidence of past mining activity is still visible in the surrounding landscape.

The town's economy is now primarily based on agriculture, particularly sheep farming and cropping.

Bealiba features basic community amenities, including a general store, a public hall, and recreational facilities. Nearby larger towns, such as Maryborough, provide more comprehensive services and facilities. The population is relatively small, reflecting the rural nature of the area.
