WELCOME TO SWAN HILL

Heart of the Murray

DISCOVER OUR REGION

A bustling agricultural hub, with Swan Hill city at its centre.

The original custodians of the lands are the Latji Latji, Wemba Wemba, Barapa Barapa and the Wadi Wadi Nations. Their strong cultural connection to the land, and their contribution to our diverse community, continues to this day.

TASTE

Find the perfect venue for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in the mood for a light brekky, or an all-out smorgasbord extravaganza, the bistros, cafes and restaurants…

EXPLORE

From local and touring events and regular festivals all the way through to outdoor experiences and river-based sports, Swan Hill is an ideal place to spend some time relaxing and enjoying the outdoors, and the glorious year-round climate. The obvious starting point is the Pioneer Settlement, but look wider and you’ll find unique crafty retailers, nature in abundance, and plenty of top-notch events any time of the year.

STAY

With more sunny days than Queensland, we welcome visitors year round.
