WANGARATTA offers diverse shopping, alfresco cafés and bars, walking and bicycle trails, an arts precinct and parks and gardens.

The Riverside Precinct is a popular dining strip along the Ovens River and Wangaratta is close to the King Valley, Rutherglen and Beechworth wine areas to pick up a new or favourite drop.

Historic signboards along the Bullawah Cultural Trail in the heart of the city tell of Wangaratta's Aboriginal past.

In town and out, you will find a wide range of cycling opportunities to explore the sights by bike and you don't need to be an elite cyclist to enjoy them.

The Ovens–Warby Ranges offer bushwalking trails of various lengths and difficulties – you might even see mobs of wallabies or kangaroos if you are out and about at dusk or dawn.

Enjoy cascading waterfalls and rushing streams and, at various times throughout the year, you will hear up to half a dozen different calls of local frog species.

Dropping in a line and teaching the kids to fish is easy with the Ovens and King Rivers flowing in and around Wangaratta and there are various spots you can settle your camping chair as you wait for a bite.

Experience the naturally beautiful scenery, historic sights, bike and walking trails and exceptional culinary delights of Wangaratta and surrounds this autumn.
