The Bogong region covers some of the most spectacular and diverse countryside in Australia.
The region extends from mountain cattlemen terrain in the Upper Murray to the fruit bowl of Victoria in the Goulburn Valley. Recreation opportunities abound and the snowfields are a prominent and unique feature.
Major centres include Albury, Wodonga, Wangaratta, Benalla, Yarrawonga and Shepparton. Most of the region is in easy reach of Melbourne, with good transport links along the dual-lane Hume Freeway and by rail and air.
There are 36 high quality GP teaching practices accredited with the Bogong GP training program. The region has four major district hospitals (Shepparton, Wangaratta, Wodonga and Albury) and three divisions of general practice.
