About Amphitheatre
Amphitheatre is a small town in Victoria, Australia.
It is located on the Pyrenees Highway in the
Pyrenees Shire, south-west of Avoca. At
the 2006 census, Amphitheatre and the
surrounding area had a population of 291.
Amphitheatre was originally located further south
of its current location, in the natural amphitheatre
after which it is named. A Post Office opened on 22
June 1859.
At the end of the gold mining period of the late
19th century Amphitheatre was moved to the
highway. A plaque remains in the original location
as the only reminder of this.
