River Country is a cultural haven, rich is history and artistic expression. Home to the Yorta Yorta, Wemba Wemba and Barapa Barapa peoples for thousands of years, the region’s heritage runs deep. European settlement began in the early 1840s when squatters established pastoral runs and timber became a booming trade, followed by the rise of river transport and paddle steamers that shaped local communities.
