Wangaratta is a city in the Australian state of Victoria and is located about 230 km northeast of Melbourne on the Hume Highway and the railway line between Melbourne and Sydney . It is located at the confluence of the King River in the Ovens River at an altitude of about 150 m and is the capital of the local administrative area of the Rural City of Wangaratta .

The Wangaratta area was home to two notorious criminals in the 19th century: Dan Morgan, who is buried in the town's cemetery, and Ned Kelly , who lived and was imprisoned in nearby Glenrowan .

Close to the city is the ghost town of Eldorado , which is a reminder of the gold digger's past. The city is also the starting point of the Great Alpine Road, which leads to the ski areas of Victoria. The biggest event in Wangaratta is the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues , which has been attracting thousands of visitors every year since 1990. Furthermore, Wangaratta is known as a wine region.
