Introducing Swan Hill
Swan Hill was named by Major Mitchell in 1836, after he was kept awake by swans in the nearby lagoon. Today it’s a major regional centre surrounded by irrigated farmlands. Although the riverside location is pleasant, Swan Hill is rather an underwhelming place. Empty shopfronts indicate that it isn’t the thriving regional metropolis that Mildura and Echuca are. Other than the re-created Swan Hill Pioneer Settlement there’s not a lot of reason to stop.
