Euroa, Victoria

Euroa is a town in the Shire of Strathbogie in North-East Victoria, Australia. It is roughly midway between Melbourne and Albury as the crow flies. The area is geographically very flat, as the town is located in the huge Goulburn Valley , however the impressive Strathbogie Ranges are not far away. The name Euroa comes from an Aboriginal word in the old local dialect meaning "joyful".

Euroa's population of 2,800 has changed very little in the last couple of hundred years, but it has perhaps grown older. The town contains several retirement villages, one highschool, and two primary schools (one Catholic).

Euroa's one and only claim to fame is that the bank there was robbed by Ned Kelly in 1878. Much of the region's wealth comes from sheep. A memorial honours pioneer sheep-importer Eliza Forlonge (nee Jack).

The main road from Melbourne northward is the Hume Highway. This by-passed Euroa about 15 years ago and since then Euroa has been a quiet town with little growth or business potential. It is, however, a significant stop on any long drive along the Hume for purposes of food, fuel, and a walk in one of the very nice parks.
