Wangaratta boasts a prime position for a host of activities, festivals and tourist sites to enjoy. We are surrounded by historic hamlets offering many great museums and displays, with the world renowned Ned Kelly as legend around here. Explore the gold rush township of Eldorado and take a walk around the dredge, one of the largest of its type in the Southern Hemisphere. Take a drive out to Glenrowan and walk in the footsteps of Ned Kelly and his gang, or follow the heritage walk or the cemetery walk to find out more about Wangaratta's past.

For the sporting enthusiast we have the Winton Motor Raceway Wangaratta Speedway, or play some golf at the Jubilee or Waldara Golf Courses and watch out for the wildlife. For the nature and outdoor lover we have magnificent lakes and streams, snow fields, mountains and more to explore. Take in the beautiful vistas at many vantage points in the Warby Ranges or King Valley.

For the food and wine connoisseur, we have the Brown Brothers winery, Millawa Cheese Factory and fruit and nut orchards. Enjoy the food and wine of the region, visit some cellar doors and farmgates and meet the makers of some truly delicious specialty cheeses, mustards, wines, sour dough breads, olives, berries and honey as well as jams, pickles and preserves.

There is great fishing in the local rivers and for the truly adventurous, hot air ballooning.
