Rushworth is a town in Victoria, Australia. It is located north of Melbourne and, at the 2021 Census, had a population of 1,411.
The goldfields became no longer viable due to the underground water table and were closed during the gold rush.
After World War 2, a migration camp was set up approximately 8km outside of town in 1947. It was called Rushworth Immigration Camp No. 3 (on the site of the previous wartime internment camp) and received migrants from Bonegilla before closing in June 1953.
Athletics
The town has an Australian rules football team competing in the Kyabram & District Football League.
Golfers play at the course of the Rushworth Golf Club on Tatura Road.
