Living in Swan Hill
Swan Hill is located in the centre of the Murray Valley , 344 kilometres north-west of Melbourne.
Swan Hill is a thriving, modern city. Its irrigated hinterland are home to 40,000 people. An economic catchment stretching along the Murray Valley into the Mallee in Victoria and the Western Riverina in New South Wales is also serviced by the city. Though still focused on primary production and supplying the needs of people and businesses in the area, Swan Hill has broadened its activities in commerce, manufacturing and tourism. The city combines the relaxed lifestyle and community spirit of traditional rural life with the facilities and conveniences of a much larger urban centre. |
