Nagambie, Rural settlement in Victoria, Australia
Nagambie is a rural settlement in Victoria that stretches along the shores of a lake, with a wide main street lined with gardens and commercial buildings facing the water. The town features public spaces and parks that serve as gathering points for residents and visitors.
The Taungurung people established settlements in this region and used the waterways for food gathering and trade over many generations. The construction of Goulburn Weir between 1887 and 1890 from hand-cut stone transformed the landscape by creating a large reservoir.

The lake offers designated areas for water activities like boating and swimming with developed facilities and boat ramps available to visitors. The best time to visit is during cooler months when the weather is mild and water conditions are pleasant.
A local museum displays historical agricultural machinery from a significant private collection housed in a building over 150 years old from the town's founding era. The collection traces how farming methods and equipment evolved in the region.
