Huge stainless steel storage tanks associated with the Bonlac milk products company

Stanhope
Small dairy town
At Stanhope, huge stainless steel storage tanks associated with the Bonlac milk products company tower beside the Midland Highway and contented cows can be seen in adjacent paddocks, providing a clear insight into what constitutes the area's bread and butter, so to speak.

Stanhope is situated 183 km north of Melbourne and 29 km west of Shepparton. It is a small service town for the surrounding area.

Girgarre, 5 km north, once had the state's largest specialty cheese factory but it has closed down. 'Girgarre' is said to be an indigenous word meaning 'sour'.
