Jeparit is situated on the Wimmera River in western Victoria, 370 kilometres from Melbourne. The town services the surrounding agricultural area with wheat, wool, barley and oats. Jeparit is also the birth place of Australia’s longest serving Prime Minister, Sir Robert Menzies, and a town square has been established to commemorate his legacy. Near Jeparit lies the largest freshwater lake in Victoria, Lake Hindmarsh. Four Mile Beach, on the southern shore, is a great spot for fishing, swimming and boating. RV travellers can camp here for a nominal fee, payable to the council. The dump point and potable water are located on Lower Roy Street.While in town, be sure to visit the Wimmera-Mallee Pioneer Museum, one of the best of its type in Australia. The museum contains an extensive historical farming machinery display and several buildings relating to the colonial era. Jeparit has significant wetlands in the area with a diverse bird population. The nearby Birdcage Flora and Fauna Reserve is also well worth visiting.Tourist/Visitor Centre       Hindmarsh Shire Council92 Nelson StreetNhill, VIC 3418P: 03 5391 4429Casual Parking       Roy & Broadway StShort Term Parking           Wimmera Mallee Pioneer Museum, Charles St, Jeparit, (24hrs), pets ok, bins, nil chargeLong Term Parking            Four Mile Beach, Lake Hindmarsh, pets ok, charges apply (payable to Hindmarsh Shire Council)Dump Point  Lower Roy St, JeparitPotable Water          Lower Roy St, JeparitHospital        Charles St, Jeparit, 03 5397 2021Doctors Surgery     2 Charles St, Jeparit, 03 5396 5506Pharmacy     Rainbow Community Pharmacy, 42 Roy St, Jeparit, 03 5397 2025Supermarket            Jeparit Supermarket, 52 Roy St, Jeparit, 03 5397 2036

Goomalling is located 130 kilometres north-east of Perth and is another wonderful and welcoming Western Australian town.

With its wide streets, Goomalling is a mixture of historic buildings and modern facilities.Casual and short-term parking is available at Railway Terrace. There is no fee to stay here, and stays are limited to 24 hours. A dump point and potable water can be found at Goomalling Caravan Park, Throssell Street.To get a ‘snapshot’ of Goomalling and its people, visit the Wheatbelt Wander Wall on Railway Terrace, where approximately 200 people have donated and created significant to the town. Along the railway you will also spot rustic metal art sculptures and you can stop for a picnic at the War Memorial Park BBQ area with gazebos and a shady gumtree. From July to September each year, the orchids put on a spectacular display and you can take some wonderful photos from various locations around the region.
