About McEwen

“From the rich agricultural farmlands worked by local families for generations to the vine covered hillsides in the Yarra Valley and Macedon Ranges, McEwen is one of the most beautiful electorates in regional Australia.

“It is no wonder a region known for offering everything from its relaxed country hospitality to rugged wilderness of the high country and serious culinary fare is fast becoming the food and wine tourism centre of Victoria.
How lucky we are to come home to McEwen."
