Beveridge, Victoria
Beveridge is a town in Victoria, Australia, located along the Hume Highway, 42 kilometres north of Melbourne in the Shire of Mitchell. An eastern rural portion of the locality is within the City of Whittlesea in Greater Melbourne. At the 2011 Census, Beveridge had a population of 872.
==History==
Beveridge was named after Scottish sheep farmer Andrew Beveridge who built the Hunters' Tryste Inn in 1845. The Inn still serves as a hotel, as well as post office and general store.
Beveridge Post Office opened on 1 January 1865.
Near Beveridge is Mount Fraser, an eroded extinct volcanic cone. It is a large scoria volcano with two craters, which last erupted about one million years ago. The north side of the hill is quite steep and reaches a height of 125 metres above the surrounding basalt plain. From this location the explorers Hume and Hovell first saw Port Phillip on 14 December 1824.〔 A quarry now operates at the side of the hill and supplies most of Melbourne's scoria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hematite from Fe Quarry, Mt. Frazer, Beveridge )〕 A copy of the original Eureka flag flies atop this hill every year to commemorate Ned Kelly.
