Discover Beeac and Cressy 

Beeac and Cressy are two small towns nestled together in Victoria's rural southwest, roughly halfway between Melbourne and Ballarat. Both are known for their peaceful atmosphere and rich history.

Beeac, just 18 kilometers away, offers a similar small-town feel, with the added attraction of being close to Lake Beeac, a popular spot for nature lovers.
