Benalla is a vibrant regional city in North East Victoria, known for its striking street art, lakeside charm, and rich cultural heritage.
Nestled on the banks of the Broken River, Benalla blends country warmth with creative flair. Once a pastoral settlement, it’s now a thriving hub of art and history, home to the renowned Benalla Art Gallery and more than 60 large-scale murals that form part of the North East Victoria Silo Art Trail. The city’s centrepiece, Lake Benalla, offers tranquil walking paths and scenic picnic spots, while nearby Winton Wetlands and Reef Hills State Park invite nature lovers to explore diverse landscapes.
