Wangaratta suburb profile

Wangaratta is a regional service centre in north-east Victoria, set at the junction of the Ovens and King rivers and framed by the rolling foothills that lead toward the Victorian Alps. The town centre blends Victorian and interwar buildings with cafés, boutique shops and civic facilities, while surrounding farmland, vineyards and timbered hills give a relaxed semi-rural character. It suits families, tradespeople and professionals who travel for work, attracted by local schools, health services and active sporting clubs. Good road and rail links make Wangaratta a practical base for exploring the Milawa and King Valley food and wine country.
