GJ Gardner Swan Hill

Swan Hill is located in Victoria’s far North West. In the early 1850s, a wharf on the Murray River was built and Swan Hill became one of the region's major inland river trading ports. The river trade declined with the expansion of railways, however agriculture spearheaded the town's prosperity with the clearing of surrounding land and the use of the river for irrigation. Around Swan Hill and particularly to the north are vast citrus farms and vineyards.
