A Campaspe River town with a creative edge
Rochester sits on the Campaspe River in central Victoria. Its murals, silo art and local collections make it a useful place to pause while exploring the wider Campaspe district. The Campaspe regional touring map (opens in a new tab) provides official regional orientation and points to Rochester’s arts and heritage features.
Look for art in the townscape
Rochester’s public art is best approached as a self-guided walk through town. Use the official Rochester Silo Art listing (opens in a new tab) to find the site and check current visitor details before you go.
Use Rochester as a local base
Rochester is one of Campaspe Shire’s service centres for surrounding communities. The council’s shire snapshot (opens in a new tab) gives useful context for the district; confirm any time-sensitive services, openings and road conditions close to travel.
