Stratford

A small Gippsland town on the Avon River in Victoria, Stratford hosts a yearly Shakespeare festival in autumn and offers cafés, a local winery cellar door, and parks along the water. It sits on the Princes Highway east of Melbourne, making it a practical stop for highway travellers, and the surrounding area supports dairying, horse breeding, and vegetable farming.
