Nestled on the banks of the meandering Campaspe River, Rochester stands as the gateway to the mighty Murray River region.

As the birthplace to one of Australia’s finest cyclists, Sir Hubert Opperman and associated with sports brand marketing legend John Forbes, Rochester boasts a wide range of sport and leisure activities and facilities coupled with attractive older buildings being faithfully restored. 

Re-live some of Australia’s most memorable sporting moments at the Rochester Sports Museum, housing more than 4,000 pieces of memorabilia

Rich in history, art and nature, engage with our stories as you explore our outdoor gallery of painted silos, murals, street art, wood carvings, statues and sculptures, with more than 50 exhibits to discover around town.

Rochester forms part of the Silo Art Trail, with a huge nature-based artwork by Jimmy D’Vate in the centre of town. It’s complimented by a new alleyway mural by Tim Bowtell featuring well known Victorian Detective Ron Iddles, and the annually updated Northern Highway Rochester Mural Festival artworks.

Rochester is a town that is just big enough to have everything you need, while being small enough for people to really value a warm g’day. It’s the perfect place to stop and… live like a local.
