ROBINVALE
Robinvale is a quite remote location;
a diversion from most expedient routes is required. Robinvale is also
an interesting town, and its development and community makeup suggests
this purpose built mining/dam/ government town. Wide streets, parks
and infrastructure that exude misplaced planning. This is not so but
close.
The town is named in memory of
Lieutenant George Robin Cuttle, who was during air combat over France
in 1918. The Post Office opened in 1924 as Bumbang, but was renamed
Robinvale in August of that year.
Robinvale is known for the massive
production of grapes , olives, carrots and almonds.
Robinvale is a popular camping area
on the Murray. There are many attractions in Robinvale, such as the
original home of Robin Cuttle, an antique museum, park, and a caravan
park overlooking the Murray River. The river is home to a great array
of native birds and fish such as the pelican, swan, and perch.
Robinvale and its twin town, Euston
is home to an Italian population. Many of these people are 2nd and 3rd
generation Australians, well integrated to the community.
It also has immigrant
populations of Tongans
and Asian and a significant Aboriginal community.

modern buildings._small.JPG) 
The Rural Museum is located on the
western edge of the town.
The Robinvale Hotel is a grand and
classic pub._small1.JPG)
The Robinvale War Memorial is
located near the central park.

The town being on the shore of the
Murray River could determine Robinvale as a stopover location.
