||THE EUCALYPTUS OIL INDUSTRY||
From the time of the first European settlement there has been interest in the medicinal properties of Eucalyptus Oil.
In the 1880s the first large-scale commercial eucalyptus oil operations commenced in the Mallee-Wimmera area of northwestern Victoria. Joseph Bosisto, backed by Melbourne businessmen Alfred Felton and Frederick Grimwade, established the 'Eucalyptus Mallee Company' in 1882, based at the 600 acre Antwerp Station, near the town of Dimboola. This was followed by many more dotted along the banks of the lower Wimmera River.

Our three alternate parks in Jeparit, Rainbow, and Nhill have limited availability.

Council is working through contacting guests that have bookings at the holiday park to discuss their options.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate the current bushfire on our doorstep.

||ARKONA SILO: SMUG’S INVISIBLE MAN||
10km north of Dimboola on the way to Jeparit lies one of the most unique artworks along the entire Silo Art Trail.
World renowned mural artist Smug created this fitting homage to local Arkona legend the late Rolly Klinge. Painting a photorealistic portrait on the scale of a grain silo of someone the artist could not meet and photograph created a challenge. Smug developed the idea of painting a unique tribute to Roley reflecting his passion for tennis and iconic terry-towelling hat and glasses, but making his body invisible.

||HISTORIC PELLA LIMESTONE KILN||
Stankowski’s limestone kiln at Pella, near Rainbow, was built in 1914 at the local limestone quarry reserve. It is a rare example of a 'D' type kiln, common in NSW but very few are known to exist in Victoria. It was used to burn the local limestone in preparation for creating mortar. Many buildings in the Rainbow area were built from the Pella limestone and mortar from this kiln.
