Discover the Mallee Region
Pack your camera and set aside a day to explore the unique Pioneer Settlement, where the good old days come to life right in front of your eyes.
As the day turns into night, the action does not stop; make your way down to the banks of the Marraboor River where you will experience a display you will never forget: the Heartbeart of the Murray Laser Show.
Wyperfeld
National Park
Patchewollock - 62Km
Located in the flat, semi-arid north-western corner of Victoria, Wyperfeld is one of Australia's most fascinating national parks.
The central feature of this huge park is a chain of lake beds connected by Outlet Creek, the northern extension of the Wimmera River. The lakes only fill when the Wimmera River over-supplies Lake Hindmarsh to the south of Lake Albacutya. When it rains the semi-arid landscape is transformed by tiny desert plants that sprout from long-dormant seeds, carpeting the ground with clusters of flowers.
Lake Lascelles
Hopetoun - 24Km
Lake Lascelles in Hopetoun is a mecca for walkers, swimmers, boating enthusiasts, bird watchers and fishermen, and has beautiful clean water from the Grampians Wimmera Mallee pipeline, which means there is future reliability that the Lake will always have water. This great holiday destination has become an economic benefit to the local town, and what once was a luxury when it was filled from time to time is now an essential resource that assists in the wellbeing of all who live in the district and the many travellers who visit.
Hidden under the canopy of a modern hangar, you will discover what the imperial enemy couldn’t find, the secret No.1 Flying Boat Repair Depot in Australia, used during the Second World War.
Under the guidance and dedication of the Lake Boga Lions Club, this remarkable museum takes us back to the 1940s, where Catalinas were more common on the lake than speed boats are today.
