Swan HillSwan Hill is a haven for food and wine lovers and offers its visitors a rare insight into Victoria’s colonial history.
Discover the town's rich colonial past at the Pioneer Settlement which portrays a nineteenth century Murray River settlement. Take a free ride through town on horse and cart, enjoy a delicious Devonshire Tea in the delightful tearooms, don an olden days costume for a family photo, or stick around to watch the fabulous Sound and Light show at night.
While you are in town, take a ride on the 150-year-old Paddle Steamer Pyap and experience some of the most unspoilt and rugged sections of the Murray, as it winds through state park land. Swan Hill’s history is interwoven with a contemporary feel, brought about by the increasing number of local cafes and gourmet restaurants who are offering regional wines and the freshest local produce.
If you’re an avid golfer, make sure you pack your clubs and work on your handicap at the Murray Downs Golf & Country Club, one of the top golf courses in Victoria. The town also has many cosy bed and breakfasts where you are guaranteed to enjoy the night if you decide to stay. Or hop on board a houseboat and explore the river at your own pace.
