Swan Hill Freight Services

Midway along the Murray between Echuca and Mildura, Swan Hill serves as the Murray Mallee's commercial and irrigation-supply hub — a cross-border town where VIC and NSW carriers operate interchangeably. QFM steers pallet, carton and trade loads in from every Australian capital, with outbound pickups arranged on request.

The Murray Valley Highway links Swan Hill with Bendigo (two and a half hours south) and Mildura to the north-west. Irrigation-equipment dealers, construction suppliers, retail outlets and Swan Hill District Health form the city's freight base. Regional on-forwarding to Kerang, Cohuna, Robinvale, Mildura and Balranald covers the wider Mallee and Sunraysia fringe.
