What You Can Do
Traditional Owners
The Yorta Yorta people come from a unique stretch of forest-wetlands that are located in what is now known as the central Murray – Goulburn region. Their lifestyle and culture were based on hunting, fishing, and collecting food from the variety of food sources provided by the ancestral lands.
Tastes of Art
There’s more to Rutherglen than its sumptuous showcase of food and wine events each Labor Day long weekend. It’s also when creative sparks shine at the annual Taste of Art exhibition and judging, attracting hundreds of entries from talented local and visiting artists from around Australia.
Rutherglen Sculpture Trail
See sculptures such as “Bad Hair Day”, “Quiet Waters” and “Cow and Cockatoo” as you wander past wineries, touch on the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail and take in Lake King.
