Swan Hill

6,068 km²

Spanning over 6,000 square kilometres of the Victorian countryside, Swan Hill is a sprawling regional centre. The community is defined by its wide-open spaces, though it faces some challenges with accessibility to essential services. It is a place where nature is close by, but the typical layout means residents rely more on cars than walking to get around. This mix of a large land area and a concentrated town centre creates a distinctive regional character.
