First, the thing people get wrong

Mooroopna sits across the Goulburn River flats from Shepparton, joined by the causeway on the Midland Highway. The town has its own hospital, McLennan Street shops and a long history in fruit canning. Flood levels on the flats are a live issue for anyone building or insuring here.

Mooroopna is in Victoria, postcode 3629, and 4 of the towns people here use day to day are in New South Wales. That is why this matters more in Mooroopna than it does most places: the state a job is done in decides which trade licence applies, which public holiday calendar sets the penalty rate, and which regulator hears a complaint.

If you are hiring anyone, the border check tells you which state's rules apply to an address, and the licence check opens the right register.

The shape of the place

Mooroopna runs on Shepparton for anything it does not have itself, and the drive is about 4 kilometres. These are the facts that decide who you ring and where you go, rather than the ones a tourism page leads with.

Where to eat and drink

Places with an address in Mooroopna rather than ones that deliver to it. Work through them rather than eating at the same place for a year.

When something breaks

Trades with a yard or an office in Mooroopna. Every listing shows where its details came from and when they were last read.

Before you pay a deposit. Ask which licence they are working under for your job and check it. It takes a minute on the licence check, and on this border the licence that counts is the one for the state the work is in, not the state the business is registered in.
