TOWN OF MURALS

This is scenically one of the most attractive areas of the state, with peaceful farmlands, rugged mountain gorges, quiet streams, rivers well stocked with fish, waterfalls and virgin forests. The town is nestled under spectacular Mt Roland which stands 1,234m above sea level.

Sheffield is the gateway to Cradle Mountain as well as to the Lake Barrington International Rowing Course, where excellent facilities are provided for barbecues and family outings.

Sheffield, the “Town of Murals”, is home to spectacular paintings, executed by professional artists, featuring the district’s pioneer history. An especially designed Mural Park is home to the annual National Mural Festival ensuring 9 new murals each year.
