We might be biased, but we think all the best stuff comes from the country.

Clever, hard-working people, delicious produce, innovative tech and their footy players aren’t bad either.

Too often the stories of country Victorians are stories of hardship and, while this hardship has built a tough resilience in the people of the country, it’s not their only story.

As part of this year’s Powercor Country Festival, we sent Kevin Sheedy and Lucas Karlson on the road to show our gratitude to some country Victorians who have done something that we can all be grateful for.

Let’s meet some special country Victorians.
