Euroa

The area around Euroa was first discovered by Hume and Hovell in the late 1830's - settlers formed the town a few years later on the banks of Seven Creek. Euroa is famous for a Ned Kelly robbing where he forced the manager of a local sheep station to hand over 1000 pounds. The name Euroa is aboriginal for "meeting of the waters". The town itself is it pretty - the main street is strangely off the old highway, and the park where the old Hume hwy crosses Seven Creek is worth a visit.
