A gentle breeze, carrying the faint, sweet perfume of ripening fruit, whispers through the scattered houses, lending a drowsy character to the afternoon. The river itself, a broad, brown ribbon, dictates the pace of life, its surface reflecting the vast, pale blue Australian sky, sometimes broken by the V-shaped wake of a passing boat.
The history of Riverglen is entwined with the river’s bounty and the fertile plains it nourishes. Early settlers, drawn by the promise of rich soil, established farms and orchards, their labours gradually shaping the landscape into the productive agricultural hub it is today.
