The small town of Tallangatta is located in north-eastern Victoria, approximately 40 kilometres from Albury-Wodonga. Situated on the banks of Lake Hume, Tallangatta is home to over 1,000 residents. The original town of Tallangatta was founded in the 1870s with the land reputedly being the traditional home of the Pjallanganmiddang Aborigines.

Since that time Tallangatta has been a service centre and market town for the local farming community, with a butter factory operating for much of the 20th century.With plenty of facilities available, including a dump point and potable water, Tallangatta Showground is ideally located in the perfect area to stop for a few days and take time to explore the nearby towns.
