Just one and a half hours leisurely drive from Melbourne; 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
