The White Hat Guide to Central Victoria
This area, when considered through its main highways, falls roughly into the shape of a “Y”. The base of the Y is formed by the Hume Highway from Melbourne to Wallan. The right branch of the Y continues up the Hume Highway to Seymour and then follows the Goulburn Valley Highway and Goulburn River up to the Murray ain the Cobram region. The left branch of the Y follows the Northern Highway, joining up with the Campaspe River and meeting the Murray at Echuca. | We have divided this region into three areas: | See also: |
This area is within easy reach of Melbourne and contains numbers of historic towns such as Kilmore & Tallarook. 
Goulburn River at Seymour
|
This area contains Heathcote, Seymour Shepparton, Euroa Benalla, Nagambie, Elmore and Rochester. Much of this area is heavily cultivated, and Shepparton is a major regional centre and home to major fruit and vegetable processors. This area contains Kerang, Cohuna, Koondrook/Barham, Moama/Echuca, Yarrawonga/Mulwala (you will find numbers of twin towns like these on either side of the state dividing line of the Murray) and Barooga. The New South Wales side includes Deniliquin, Finley and Jerilderie.

White Hat - THE place to find markets in Victoria
Over the years White Hat has become recognised as THE
place to list and find markets in Melbourne & Victoria and our
markets pages consistently receive over 1,000 visitors a day with over
3,000 a day at weekends. Unlike many
websites which merely LIST markets, White Hat VISITS markets as
witnessed by the photographs. Although we visit hundreds of markets
every year we can never cover all of them so please let us know if any
of our information is out of date. With details on over 400 markets,
users regularly tell us that the
White Hat listing is the best and most
comprehensive source of markets in
Victoria available either on the web
or in print.

A 13km or 5km fun run along the Murray River where runners are pitted against
the world's oldest wooden-hulled paddlesteamer, the PS Adelaide. Much of the run
follows the river track along the banks of the Murray where runners enjoy
sweeping views of the river and are surrounded by majestic river redgums. The
run then winds through the historic Port of Echuca, goes under the old iron
bridge and along more river tracks before returning to finish by the Murray
River at the Hopwood Gardens in
Echuca. The run is a unique experience and walkers are encouraged to
participate. |

TOURISM NEWS
Qantas In Flight Magazine chooses
White Hat
Cemetery Tour as its featured Australian tour for May
There are many fine historical tours
throughout Australia including cemetery tours. From these, the
prestigious Qantas In Flight Magazine has chosen the White Hat Tour
of Melbourne Cemetery as its featured Australian tour for the May
2007 edition. This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and
will feature in a documentary series on Burke and Wills to be shown
on European television in 2008. The tour has been operating for many years and has won
praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
Intelligent, Independent (and occasionally) Irreverent. You can find
details of the tour at White
Hat Tour of Melbourne Cemetery and view the article at
Qantas In Flight Magazine. |
