TATURA

Often known as Water Wheel Country, Tatura is home to many food processing enterprises. It has a population of approximately 3000 and is a very progressive town. In January each year Tatura hosts International Dairy Week, the second largest dairy show in the world. During World War II there were several war camps for POWs and internees in this area and the two war cemeteries are poignant reminders of this part of the area's history.
