The Murraylands and Mallee country are located in North West and Mid North Victoria. The area spans from the SA border in the west to Shepparton a distance of about 500 km. Large areas in the western part of this region have been under irrigation for over a century resulting in the cultivation of citrus fruits, grapes and olives. However great sections of mallee scrub are still obvious interspersed with lakes and rivers and protected by Murray-Sunset and Wyperfeld NPs. Heading further east towards the Goulburn and Murray rivers, rich farming lands are found together with canneries and processing plants for all the irrigated produce.
