Bailey’s Rocks in Dergholm State Park is the perfect spot for a free, peaceful camping experience. Set up camp among the huge granite boulders and tall eucalypts, with picnic tables, fire pits, and a short walking track to explore. It’s a great place to relax, enjoy nature, and escape the hustle and bustle.

After a day of adventuring, make your way to the Dergholm Hotel. Enjoy a cold drink, a delicious meal, and chat with the locals in this welcoming country pub.

Rising from the Mallee landscape, the Lascelles silos are a powerful tribute to the people who shape this place. Created by renowned street artist Rone, the mural features Geoff and Merrilyn Horman, a local farming couple whose roots run four generations deep. The artwork blends seamlessly into the raw concrete, its ghostly style reflecting the quiet strength of its subjects and the timelessness of the land they call home.

Rupanyup has a fresh new face.

SMUG has brought his signature style to the Rupanyup silo, repainting it with a stunning new design that looks to the future of farming in the Wimmera. The original artwork had faded, but the community came together to give it new life, and the result is nothing short of spectacular.

If you haven’t been to Rupanyup in a while, now’s the time. The Silo Art Trail just got even better.

Autumn might be creeping in, but out here, summer still lingers. The water is warm, the days are golden, and there’s still time for one last lake escape before winter rolls in.

Pack the esky, grab the kayaks, and meet me at the lake.

Meet me at the pub for a yarn over a cold one.
Meet me at the lake where summer stretches a little longer.
Meet me at the silo, where art tells the stories of the land.
Meet me in the Wimmera Mallee, where the pace is slower, the skies are bigger, and every stop comes with a warm welcome.

Where will we meet you?

Donald’s newest mural is more than just art. It’s a tribute to one of the town’s most hardworking and well-loved figures, Georgie Ah Ling.

Arriving in Australia in 1900, Georgie returned in the late 1920s to tend to his cousin’s garden. He grew vegetables, sourced fresh fruit from markets in Melbourne and Ballarat, and delivered produce by horse-drawn wagon. Watering was done the hard way with two large cans hanging from a yoke over his shoulders, filled from the nearby channel and dam.

Now, thanks to a Donald 2000 initiative and the incredible talent of Heesco, Georgie’s story is told through a stunning mural along the Weirs IGA wall at 39A Woods St, Donald 📍

Capturing him at work, rest, and play, this piece of art brings his legacy to life for all to see.

The Wimmera Steampunk Festival brings together Victoriana and imagination in the historic railway town of Dimboola. A celebration of the weird and wonderful, it’s a place where creativity runs wild and everyone is part of the spectacle.

Wander through a reimagined 19th-century carnival filled with street performers, stilt walkers, illusionists, live music, ribbon acrobatics and mechanical contraptions. Challenge yourself at Pinball Alley, have your fortune read or enjoy the entertainment at your own pace. A children's lantern procession will open the night, leading into a packed program across three stages with bands, performers and exhibitions.

Arrive in style aboard the Seymour Heritage Railway train, running from Melbourne and Geelong and shuttling between Horsham and Dimboola.

The Main Street Party takes over Dimboola on Saturday 12 April, but the festivities don’t stop there. Steampunk activations will be happening across the Wimmera in the lead-up to the big night.

Find the full program and secure your tickets at wimmerasteampunkfestival.com.au.

Sunsets and sunrises here are something else. 🌄 Lake Tyrrell turns pearlescent shades of pinks and gold, the Wimmera River glows bright and orange, and from Mt Arapiles, you’ll feel on top of the world. Wherever you pull up, the sky will leave you speechless.

Over the past few weeks, the Wimmera Mallee has felt the impact of bushfires in the Little Desert National Park. But this is a place that knows how to heal. The land is strong, the people are resilient, and recovery has already begun.

The Wimmera Mallee has always been a place of resilience. It’s written into the sweeping plains, the ancient mallee trees, and the people who call this region home.

Out in the bush, the first signs of renewal will come quietly. Tiny green shoots pushing through blackened sand, the call of a bird returning to a familiar place, the promise that, in time, the Little Desert will bloom again.

Right now, the best way to support the region is to visit. The heart of the Wimmera Mallee is still here, in the welcoming country towns, the silos standing tall against endless skies, the golden sunsets stretching over the plains. Come for a meal at the pub, stop in at a local bakery, take the time to soak in the wide-open beauty of this place.

The Wimmera Mallee is open, and we can’t wait to see you soon. ❤️

The western block of the park remains open and unaffected. Other parts of the Little Desert National Park remain closed while it recovers. To stay updated on reopening and conditions, visit Parks Victoria https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/parks/little-desert-national-park
