  Tallangatta, Victoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tallangatta is a small town with a population of 923 people (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2001 figures) in north-eastern Victoria, Australia, situated on the banks of the Mitta Arm of Lake Hume, approximately 40 kilometres south-east of Albury-Wodonga.
Founded in the mid-19th century, with the construction of a rail line there it served as a rail gateway for the Mitta and Upper Murray valleys (the Upper Murray only until the railway was extended to Cudgewa).
Since that time, Tallangatta has been a service centre for the local farming community, with a butter factory operating throughout much of the 20th century.
