Tintaldra

Tintaldra /ˈtɪntəldrə/ is a town in northeast Victoria, Australia in the Shire of Towong local government area and on the upper reaches of the Murray River, 440 kilometres (270 mi) northeast of the state capital, Melbourne and 131 kilometres (81 mi) east of the regional centre of Wodonga.

European settlement began in the Tintaldra in 1837 with the arrival of squatters looking for fresh grass and water for cattle.

[2] Its location as a crossing point over the Murray River and its associated customs house led to a boom period in the late 19th century.

The Tintaldra store, constructed in 1864 with rough hewn River Red Gum beams and rafters and walls made from vertical slats of Stringybark timber, is still standing today.

Nearby Burrowa-Pine Mountain National Park is a popular place for bushwalking and camping.
