St Arnaud is located in the Wimmera region of Victoria, 244 kilometres north-west of Melbourne and is situated within the Shire of the Northern Grampians. The districts around St Arnaud support an agricultural industry of grains and wineries, sheep grazing, with open Mallee plains to the north and forested areas to the south. This former gold mining town was first settled in the mid-1850s and was originally known as ‘New Bendigo Goldfield’ before being renamed St Arnaud in honour of the commander of the French Forces in the Crimean War – Jaques Leroy de St Arnaud, Marshal of France. Many of the streets are also named after British military leaders involved in the same war.St Arnaud Caravan Park is the ideal location to stop while you explore this unique town; close to the town centre with all facilities provided, including potable water. A dump point is only a short distance away located at Lord Nelson Park.St Arnaud is a great place to visit, especially for RV travellers. Be sure to explore the historic precinct along Napier Street, featuring Victoria’s oldest fire station which has been converted into a fire brigade museum, a post office erected on 1 February 1856 and an old court house. For a pleasant day trip, take a drive 23 kilometres south of St Arnaud and you will run into the small community of Stuarts Mill where gold was first discovered in 1861. The town has preserved some of the older buildings and churches from earlier mining days.Tourist/Visitor Information Centre        St Arnaud VIC, 4 Napier St, St Arnaud VICPh: 03 5495 1268starnaud.info@ngshire.vic.gov.au Casual Parking       Jennings / Dundas St, St ArnaudShort Term Parking           St Arnaud Rest Area, Golden St, St Arnaud (24hr), tlts across street, nil cost, no other facilitiesLong Term Parking            Teddington Reservoir & Lake Batyo Catyo, all facilities provided, no pets allowedDump Point  Lord Nelson Park, Dunstan St, St ArnaudPotable Water          Lord Nelson Park, Dunstan St, St Arnaud (near round-about up the rd from dump point); St Arnaud Caravan Park, 1 Alma St, St ArnaudHospital        52 North Western Rd, St Arnaud, Ph: 03 5477 2100Doctors Surgery     66 McMahon St, St Arnaud, Ph: 03 5495 1766Dentist           TR Williams, 121 Napier St, St Arnaud, Ph: 03 5495 2472Pharmacy     St Arnaud Pharmacy, 88 Napier St, St Arnaud, Ph: 03 5495 1911Supermarket            Weir’s IGA Supermarket, 43 – 47 Napier St, St Arnaud, Ph: 03 5495 1211
