Overview
Acheron sits on the Maroondah Highway at the meeting point of the Acheron and Goulburn Rivers, offering easy road connectivity while retaining a tranquil, riverside atmosphere. With a 2021 census population of 146, the locality feels like a close‑knit community surrounded by natural attractions such as nearby Red Hill and the Drom Aluinn B&B, which provides local accommodation for visitors.
Although the original post office closed in 1974, the area remains rooted in its gold‑rush heritage and recreational spirit, highlighted by the historic 1947 Upper Goulburn Football League premiership won by the Acheron Valley Football Club. Rural properties and farm‑style homes form part of the housing mix, reflecting the legacy of families such as sprint runner Eric Cumming, who lived on a local farm.
