KYABRAM
Kyabram is a wealthy community just
about in the middle of the rich dairy and fruit region. Kyabram has
always been such and has always weathered any economic downturns.
Kyabram is also a very pretty and neat place; the town has high
vibrancy factor enhanced by the narrow streets.
The
township started in the 1870s with town blocks sold in 1876. Kyabram
Post Office opened on 23 September 1878. Sheridan Post Office opened
on 1 December 1884. On 8 April 1886, in anticipation of the arrival of
the railway at what was then Sheridan, Kyabram was renamed Kyabram
East and Sheridan was renamed Kyabram. The name of the town is thought
to derive from an Aboriginal word Kiambram meaning "Thick Forest".
Kyabram, the second largest town in the Shire of Campaspe. is situated
between the towns of Echuca and Shepparton and is close to the Murray
River.
Kyabram has all or most essential services, and as a result there is
not an excess of economic wealth drifting to Shepparton.
The
Churches in Kyabram are all century plus buildings and well
maintained.   
Heritage is becoming important, but there is evidence of main street
harm.   
The
Kyabram Hotel is over 100 years old and what a great pub.
The
other upgraded.
The
Kyabram War Memorial and Gardens is nicely done.  
Kyabram is a nice spot and a stay over would not disappoint.
