Strathbogie Ranges Visitor Information Centre

Just one and a half hours leisurely drive from the Village of Euroa, gateway to the Strathbogie Ranges lies waiting to be discovered.

The entire region is easily accessible from the Hume Freeway between Avenel and Violet Town and the Maroondah Highway between Yea and Merton. It offers a diversity of experiences within a landscape of rugged hills, majestic vistas, spectacular rocky outcrops, magical forests, waterfalls and ferny glades.

In a time past bushrangers such as Ned and the Kelly Gang roamed the ranges. While goldminers and loggers forged a settlement, the ranges became a major wool growing area, pioneered by the legendary Eliza Forlonge. In recent times the area has gained recognition as premier horse breeding country, home to several top thoroughbred stud farms and many other equine establishments. The region is also especially renowned for its abundance of native wildlife,

The history and heritage of the Ranges are preserved in the quaint towns and villages of Euroa, Longwood, Avenel, Violet Town, Ruffy and Strathbogie.

View historic buildings and heritage trails, in the rustic homesteads, cottages and rural outbuildings and in the natural beauty of the land itself - ancient, mystical, uniquely Australian. The pleasures of this diverse region await you...

The Strathbogie Ranges Visitor Information Centre is a great place to source even more information, open 7 days a week until 10pm offering both regional and local visitor information.
