Moyhu

Moyhu is a lovely community set within the rural City of Wangaratta's beautiful King Valley. The King Valley boasts several outstanding fishing spots, boutique wineries and gourmet food outlets that must be experienced to be truly appreciated. Unravel the past in some of the nearby historic towns where the rush of gold brought new culture and immeasurable growth to the region. Unique history of the region is centred on the connection between Glenrowan and the region's infamous Ned Kelly gang. The gang made its final stand at Glenrowan where the siege ended in the wounding and capture of Kelly and the death of his comrades. Moyhu is a short drive to Wangaratta, home of Australia's very highly rated Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues (Australian Tourism Award Winners 1999), held annually in early November. The dust has scarcely settled on the jazz gig when the town of Whitfield - 23km south of Moyhu - presents the annual King Valley Virgin Wine, Food and Arts Festival which showcases more than 80 local wines, craft and the fine and performing arts.
