Chiltern is a fascinating small, historic village, built upon the solid values of its mining heritage. Distinguished by carefully preserved streetscapes with historic brick buildings and wooden verandahs, Chiltern has been used as the set of three feature films including the Disney movie, Ride a Wild Pony. The miners cottages, Athenaeum Museum and Dow's Pharmacy all tell the story of our early pioneers; their struggles and their joys shared by a community with the pioneer vision to become what Chiltern is today - a peaceful, country town nestling in the hills of spectacular, surrounding National Park.
Visitors to Chiltern will experience the nostalgia of the past with all the benefits of good, old-fashioned hospitality and warmth.
