Benalla

About

A lovely lakeside town known for its beautiful gardens and artistic influence, Benalla is a great stopping point. From Lake Benalla, explore the botanic and rose garden to understand why people call it the ‘Rose City’. The Benalla Regional Art Gallery sits riverside in a beautiful botanical garden and showcases fine Australian art. The Gallery was established in 1968 and is significant in the art world as one of the country's finest regional galleries. If fine art isn’t your cup of tea, perhaps the impressive array of street art will be more to your taste. The town is filled with impressive murals by some of the world’s most renowned street artists, on buildings as high as three stories! Street Art is so prominent in Benalla that the town is home to the Wall to Wall Festival, celebrating the artistic skill of street artistry at an international level.
