About Nathalia

Nathalia is nestled on the banks of the Broken Creek and the road weary traveller can be assured of a lovely peaceful creek side picnic spot in which to relax and rejuvenate. Country lifestyle and hospitality is wonderfully apparent here and the visitor is welcomed with warmth and a friendly smile. Nathalia provides all essential services in peaceful surroundings, and is becoming a popular haven for tourists seeking that "get away from it all" location.

Nathalia is a town with an old-fashioned country feel in a flat agricultural and dairying area, 220 km north of Melbourne via Shepparton. Consisting of some 1500 people it is spread over both banks of Broken Creek on the Murray Valley Highway, between Echuca and Cobram.

Annual events include the Easter Bush Bash and the Agricultural Show on the first weekend in October. The Bush Bash entails a major tennis tournament, involving some three or four hundred competitors. It takes place on the town's 16 lawn tennis courts.
