Seymour information and attractions

Introduction:

Seymour is situated on the Goulburn River, between Nagambie, Broadford, Euroa and Yea.

Surrounded by fertile agricultural, pastoral and wine-growing areas, Seymour services the local rural communities and the Puckapunyal Military Training Base to the west, where a tank museum has a large collection of armoured vehicles on display.

Seymour has a large commercial centre, bounded on one side by landscaped gardens along the main railway line between Melbourne and Sydney. Attractions within Seymour include several historic buildings as well as the Royal Hotel which dates back to the mid-1800s. A number of attractive parks front the Goulburn River, including New Crossing Place which features a fishing platform and walking trails along the river, as well as Goulburn Park which fronts a wide section of the river and offers many amenities for visitors.

Around 17 kilometres north-east of Seymour is the town of Avenel, which is home to the Avenel Maze and the Plunkett winery, set in the foothills of the magnificent Strathbogie Ranges.
