About
Avenel township was first established at Hughes Creek crossing on the Melbourne Sydney Rd around 1838. With the discovery of gold to the north, traffic increased substantially. The township became a significant way point for travellers. The crossing was bridged and Cobb & Co coaches used the nearby Royal Mail Hotel (1847) as a staging post. This historic building is just one example of many you will visit on your walk.
