Benalla Holiday Park

Head a couple of kilometres into town for such sights as the swish Benalla art gallery, standing on the shore of Lake Benalla; the Benalla Botanical Gardens, and the National Trust sites of Stringybark Creek, the Kelly Gang camp site, and the former Shire Offices in Mair St. A cinema, theatre, golf course and horse racing club are also in town. Benalla is the closest main settlement to the Winton Motor Raceway, a circuit track that opened in 1961. It's famed throughout Australia for its twisty bends and long fast straights, with 11 turns along a two-kilometre track; the  Winton Super Sprint's one of its most popular races, along with one of the races of the Australian Superbike Championship. The bushwalking, birdwatching and cycling of the Reef Hills State Park are five kilometres from Benalla, and more bird species can be spied in the Winton Wetlands, eight kilometres away. Within day trip distance is the eucalyptus forest of the Mount Samaria State Park, and the swimming, fishing, boating and horse riding trails of Lake Eildon, both within 50 kilometres of the site. The wineries of the Glenrowan wine region can be reached in about 20 kilometres.
