The small town of Tallangatta is located in north-eastern Victoria, approximately 40 kilometres from Albury-Wodonga. Situated on the banks of Lake Hume, Tallangatta is home to over 1,000 residents. The original town of Tallangatta was founded in the 1870s with the land reputedly being the traditional home of the Pjallanganmiddang Aborigines. In the late 19th and early 20th century a considerable amount of gold and tin mining occurred and became the main source of income for the town. Since that time Tallangatta has been a service centre and market town for the local farming community, with a butter factory operating for much of the 20th century.
With plenty of facilities available, including a dump point and potable water, Tallangatta Showground is ideally located in the perfect area to stop for a few days and take time to explore the nearby towns. Sites are available for $25 per vehicle per night which includes power and all facilities. Stays are limited to 48 hours, and permits are available from the Showground Caretaker.
Tallangatta is the perfect place to visit and take in the sights and do some shopping. The shopping centre has supermarkets, cafes, pubs, banks, hardware and other specialty stores. There are excellent sporting facilities available including a swimming pool, and the unmanned visitor information centre provides excellent facilities for touring RV’s.
