Wangaratta is a bustling regional centre servicing a retail catchment area of 58,000 people. The township itself is home to 17,000 people and is surrounded by Victoria's most geographically diverse and scenic region, offering an enviable lifestyle to residents and an attractive destination to visit. The rich agricultural land surrounding Wangaratta yields gourmet produce and world class wines, making the area a paradise for wine and food lovers! Nearby Mt Hotham, Falls Creek and Mt Buffalo and surrounds are a skier's delight while in summer they lend themselves to the pursuits of bushwalking, fishing, cycling or four wheel driving and camping.
