Beveridge is a town in Victoria, Australia, 37 km (23 mi) north of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Whittlesea and the Shire of Mitchell local government areas.

The north side of the hill is quite steep and reaches a height of 125 metres above the surrounding basalt plain.

[dubious – discuss][6] A copy of the original Eureka flag flies atop this hill every year to commemorate Ned Kelly.

[citation needed] The town is principally known as the birthplace of bushranger, Ned Kelly, and his home for the first nine years of his life.

John 'Red' Kelly sold his farm for £80, and headed further north up the Old Sydney Road to Avenel in 1863, where they rented 16 ha (40 acres) the banks of the Hughes Creek.

It is said that on the train heading south to Melbourne after his capture at Glenrowan in 1880, as he approached Beveridge station, he pointed to the left and said, "See that little hill over there, that's where I drew my first breath" (The Age, June 1880).
