Background

A rich history

The Aboriginal people are the traditional owners of this most beautiful part of Australia. Their attachment to their tribal regions is understandable as you experience the awesome beauty and power of this land.

Euston was founded in 1846 by Edmund Morey. As news of the fine grazing land spread Euston began to grow into the township we know today. In 1847 John Grant obtained a pastoral license over 19,000 acres of the Bumbang Peninsula on the Victorian side of the Murray and built a pine log homestead that still exists today.

The Robinvale township was born in 1924 following a public auction of one square mile of land divided into small allotments. Local founder, Herbert E. Cuttle named the town in honour of his son, Robin Cuttle, who was killed while fighting in France during World War I.

After World War II a soldier settlement irrigation scheme brought many new arrivals to Robinvale and Euston. The area soon flourished as the climate and soil were excellent for horticulture. Today Robinvale and Euston is thriving and renowned for quality fresh produce.
