Goulburn and Murray River

Situated in the North Eastern corner of Victoria, the Goulburn Valley region is Victoria’s fruit bowl. The valley’s other main crop is wine, and several wineries are worth a visit to try their full bodied Shiraz and rich Cabernet Sauvignon. The Goulburn Valley region in the Central Victorian Zone borders New South Wales along the Murray River. More than a hundred years ago the great Murray River was born with Paddle steamers carrying wool, wheat and goods to and from the settlements along the Murray's banks. Today the Murray moves through to the sea giving people remarkable encounters with abundant wildlife, historic towns, rich vineyards and orchards. Enjoy its many water sports and discover its romantic past in museums and restored paddleboats. Taste the year round sunshine in its fine wines and fruits that are available in shops around the country.
