'Tocumwal is a small town located on the border of NSW and Victoria. The town is full of character and old world charm combined with its agricultural heritage and country lifestyle.

'Tocumwal on the Murray is a great town with a rich Aboriginal and European history. Tocumwal was named after an Aboriginal word meaning ‘deep hole’ and the Yorta Yorta people lived around here for thousands of years. One of the first influential settlers of Tocumwal was Edward Hillson in the 1860s; “The King of Toc” they called him.'
