KERANG is a vibrant regional town located 25 kilometres inland from the Murray River, between Swan Hill and Cohuna. Set within a productive irrigation district, the area supports lucerne, grain and vegetable farming.
The town centre is focused around Wellington and Victoria Streets, marked by a historic memorial clocktower. Nearby, the Lester Smith Lookout Tower—built in 1883—houses the visitor information centre and offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Across the road, the Kerang Historical Museum showcases local heritage, including vintage farm machinery and vehicles.
The Loddon River flows through Kerang, providing popular fishing spots, while the nearby Kerang Wetlands feature more than 50 lakes and lagoons rich in birdlife. Larger lakes such as Kangaroo Lake and Lake Charm are popular for boating, fishing and watersports. Kangaroo Lake is also home to scenic Gorton Drive, lined with jacarandas and citrus orchards, and a vineyard established by Brown Brothers in the 1960s.

Our Code of Ethics
- To show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.
- To seek success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.

- Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.
- To hold friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one to another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.
- Always to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and my community, and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.
- To aid others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the needy.
- To be Careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.
