Geocache Description:


Beverford.
The small country town Beverford is located approximately 14 km from Swan Hill and was, together with Woorinen, founded and quickly progressed after the First World War.
The area around Beverford, which includes Tyntynder, was predominately founded for purpose as a soldier settlement.
Its location right beside the Murray River would have served its purpose well with fresh water and plenty of promise for future farming and settlement opportunities.
The Beverford District, known for its rich fertile soil, is home to dairies and fruit farms. It is known also for its grape growing and wine industry. Buller’s Winery was perhaps the most noted in the area. Opened in 1951 by Reginald Buller, the winery was one of two owned by the company.
The Beverford Post Office and General Store.
The Post Office back in the early 1900's was also a Telephone Exchange and was originally run by the Fisher Family from about 1910 until the 1980’s.
The Fishers ran the Post Office from their farm house, which was to the east of the store. The General Store was originally a weighbridge building. In 1932 Mr Ernie Bail purchased the building, of which Mrs Bail and their daughter Ivy opened a store to service, the Beverford District. Soon after the store was opened a residence was built behind it. Mrs Bail made pies and pasties for workers in and around the area. The Doherty Family were the longest serving caretakers of the store, owning and running the store for just over 30 years. Eventually the Post Office and the General Store combined.
The Beverford District Primary School was opened in September 1924.
The Beverford and District Fire Brigade was opened on July 1st 2005. The community got together to form the brigade after a serious house fire that caused a life to be lost.
The Beverford Tavern was opened in 1976
Opposite the Primary School is Oswin Road. If you travel along the road until you reach the end you will meet up with the Murray River.
You will also see a boat ramp which was officially opened in June 2010.
