Euroa - Places to See


Tourist Information
For tourist information ring the Nagambie Visitors' Centre on (03) 5794 2647. It is open every day.

Seven Creeks Park
Seven Creeks Park is located on either side of the waterway that bisects the town and flows under Tarcombe St in the town centre. It is a pleasant picnic area with barbecue facilities.

Farmers Arms Museum
On the edge of the park, adjacent Kirkland Ave, is the Farmers Arms Museum which is located in the old Farmers Arms Hotel (1876). It has a strong and well-organised collection of local memorabilia, farm machinery and old buggies. Adjacent is a small timber building that was originally the National Bank building at Longwood. The museum is open from Friday to Monday and on holidays from 1.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m.

Miniature Steam Train
Miniature steam train rides are held in Turnbull St on the fourth Sunday of the month.

Forlonge Memorial
The Forlonge Memorial was established in 1933 as a tribute to Eliza Forlonge who introduced the first fine-wool Saxon merino sheep into Victoria. She hand-picked the sheep in Saxony then had them shipped to Australia and overlanded to Seven Creeks station near Euroa in 1851.

The memorial is located on her grave at the foot of the Gardens Range. Head out of town on the Euroa-Strathbogie Rd and turn right after 9 km onto the Forlonge Memorial Road. It is to the left about 6 km along this road.

Mt Wombat Lookout
Mt Wombat Lookout offers excellent views of the area from the plateau atop Mt Wombat (799 m). It is located 20 km south-east, off the Euroa-Strathbogie Rd. The turnoff is signposted but 2WDs will only find the last section accessible in dry weather.

Polly McQuinns Weir
This reservoir is well signposted to the south of Strathbogie. Water cascades over rocks at this lovely spot which is ideal for a country picnic.

Gooram Falls
Gooram Falls are located adjacent the Merton Rd 15 km south of Euroa (signposted).
