Benalla

Benalla is a small agricultural town of about 12000 people on the Hume Freeway[?] in Victoria about 40 km south of Wangaratta[?]. It is famous for its roses. The Broken Creek[?] can cause extensive flooding. There is a Community Park and walking track[?] along the river at Benalla, featuring a very interesting ceramic Community Sculpture that was created as part of a Community Employment Project for local artists some years ago. Industries include a medium density fibre board factory. Gliding and hot air ballooning are undertaken near Benalla.
