Discover Swan Hill with James Halliday's Wine Atlas of Australia

Formerly known as the Mid-Murray region, Swan Hill straddles the Murray River, and is thus partly within New South Wales and partly within Victoria. Swan Hill was so named by the explorer Major Thomas Mitchell in 1836 because of the abundance of swans and other waterfowl.
