About Kyabram
Kyabram is a town in north central Victoria, located in the centre of a rich irrigation district in the Goulburn River Valley. 200 kilometres north of Melbourne. It is the second-largest town in the Shire of Campaspe, situated between the towns of Echuca (30 klms east) and Shepparton (30 klms west) and is close to the Murray River, Goulburn River, Campaspe River and Waranga Basin. The name of the town is thought to derive from an Aboriginal word Kiambram meaning "Thick Forest".

The group is well known for their program known as KyFit which is a gym based mentoring program conducted throughout the town weekly, which has been the base for many similar programs country wide. Kyabram Blue Light often enters teams in many local events such as the Massive Murray Marathon and the Mad Cow Mud Run, where local police officers and young people come together to form teams. Kyabram Blue Light is currently headed up by Senior Constable Mitchell Bull, who was named Campaspe Shire's Citizen of the Year 2022.
