Trafalgar

Overview

Located within an hours drive of many ideal filming destinations including National Parks and Three Victorian Snowfields.

Trafalgar serves a rich agricultural district built largely on dairy, beef cattle, potato growing and a range of other primary industries, including berry and venison farms.

History

Trafalgar was named after Britain’s Lord Nelson’s final and most victorious naval battle where he defeated the French Navy off Cape Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. For many years Trafalgar’s main industry was diary but in recent times the area has seen development of several coalfields and nearby power stations.
