 Chewton is another of the old gold mining towns in central Victoria an hour drive north of Melbourne on the Pyrenees Highway. Chewton is a very charming old gold mining village with many of the old historic building of that era remain today. One being Red Hill Hotel built in c1854 a hotel with a lot of history including a cellar which served as a local jail and morgue.
