General Information:moira.jpg
 
Moira Shire Council covers an area of just over 4000 square kilometers and is located 2.5 hours drive from Melbourne.  The area is a major source of Victorias fruit, dairy products and beef cattle as the Murray, Goulburn and Ovens rivers all flow into this area.  The council area also attracts many visitors each year who holiday along the river areas.
