Some 250 motorhomes will roll in to the Euroa Showgrounds for a week-long rally between Monday 26 February and Sunday 4 March.
Rally Manager and Euroa local Mick Donnelly said the choice to select the Euroa district as one of this year’s destinations was an easy one.
“Euroa has great parks, walking tracks, pubs and cafés, and the Showgrounds was ideal for a gathering of 250 people,” he explained.
Mick said the businesses in Euroa and surrounds should expect an influx of people during this time.
Mayor Amanda McClaren said Council has proudly sponsored the rally and is excited to welcome the group to the region.
“This is a fantastic tourism opportunity which will have significant economic benefits for the Strathbogie Shire,” Cr McClaren said.
“This region has so many wonderful attractions to enjoy and vibrant communities that will welcome our visitors with open arms,” she said.

Residents of Strathbogie Shire may have heard recent reports of pressures impacting the recycling industry.
These current pressures are due to changes to the global recycling market, particularly China, imposing tighter restrictions on the quality and quantity of recyclable materials, culminating in a ban on the importation of sorted recyclable materials.
These changes are not unique to Victoria and are impacting recycling worldwide.
Strathbogie Shire Council Chief Executive Officer Steve Crawcour said “We wish to advise Strathbogie Shire residents that, at present, this in not impacting on Council operations.”
“We ask our residents to continue recycling as normal as collection services currently remain unchanged.”
“Strathbogie Shire Council is working closely with its contractors and the state government to keep up to date on this matter and we will continue to keep the community informed on progress.”
