Avoca is located in the heart of the Pyrenees Shire, in central west Victoria. Gold was first found in Victoria in 1849 in the Pyrenees State Forest near Avoca, and by June the following year, Avoca, with a population of 16,000 was regarded as one of Victoria’s important gold rush districts. Today gold still attracts fortune seeking prospectors to the district; however most visitors stop over in the Pyrenees region to sample their renowned wine and enjoy magnificent state forests. There are over 30 cellar doors providing a large variety of wines from savoury, spicy reds to sparkling wine, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Avoca Riverside Park, Dundas Street, offers visitors short-term parking for up to 48 hours.  A dump point and potable water can be found outside Avoca Caravan Park in Faraday Street. The township is surrounded by mountain ranges and is the perfect environment for bike riding and bushwalking. With the backdrop of the Pyrenees Ranges and the Avoca River running through the centre of town, Avoca is an idyllic rural town to visit. Many of the buildings lining the streets today are still in their original condition with the gorgeous main street maintaining a historic façade that harkens back to the gold rush days. There is ample parking along their impressive divided main street and the modern amenities and services will impress travellers. Cafes, specialty shops and galleries now line the main street, creating an excellent stopping point before heading out to the many attractions. Just outside the township of Avoca, you can escape to the Pyrenees State Forest where you can sit around a campfire under a clear sky. One of the more popular locations is the Waterfalls Picnic Ground which is the perfect setting to rest your RV, with walking tracks and 4WD tracks to lead you in and through the State Forest.Tourist/Visitor Centre       122 High St, Avoca VICPh: 03 5465 100aic@pyrenees.vic.gov.auwww.pyreneestourism.com.au Casual Parking       172 High St, Avoca; Dundas St, AvocaShort Term Parking + Long Term Parking             Avoca Riverside Park, Dundas St, Avoca, (48hr)    Waterfalls Campground, Vinoca Rd, Avoca, (10km), pets OK, toilets & BBQ facilities availThe Free Camp is located at Lions Park in Creek St. Dump Point  Opposite Avoca Caravan Park, 2 Liebig St, AvocaPotable Water          Lions Club Park, Creek St, Avoca; Avoca Caravan Park, 2 Liebig St, AvocaHospital        24hr ambulance service avail in Avoca, closest hospital is in Maryborough (26km)Pharmacy     Avoca Gold Chemist, 107 High St, Ph: 03 5465 3021Supermarket            Friendly IGA, 172 High St, Avoca, Ph: 03 5465 3095

Griffith is a rich blend of cultures and traditions and has a vibrant, cosmopolitan lifestyle more like a European city than one located in central New South Wales. The city’s unmistakable Italian heritage lives on in its passion for food and wine. The main street is speckled by street cafe’s and delicatessens that offer a wide selection of locally-made produce. Griffith also boasts a fun-packed calendar of events that encompasses everything from food, wine, gardens and multicultural festivals and events.The city is complemented by wide tree lined streets and radial patterns which are synonymous with Walter Burley Griffin and the city of Canberra. The region is the traditional land of the Wiradjuri people with the city and the surrounding region being developed with the onset of irrigation by soldier settlers and later on by Italian migrants.The region is a delight to travel around with the vibrant colours reflecting the different seasons. Set amongst a fertile backdrop of vineyards, orchards and farms, it’s hard to believe that the Griffith region was dismissed as being ‘uninhabitable’. Now a veritable oasis, thanks to the development of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area in the early 1900s, the region is part of the largest food bowl of Australia.Griffith is also home to some of Australia’s prominent premium wineries such as McWilliam’s, De Bortoli, Casella, West End, Nugan and Warburn to name a few and is now one of Australia’s largest wine producing regions. Many are still family owned and enjoy an Italian heritage with centuries old winemaking traditions and a philosophy of enjoying good wine and good food with family and friends as a celebration of life.With friendly locals and a relaxed lifestyle, we welcome you to come and enjoy the many unique experiences, events and attractions Griffith offers.Tourist/Visitor Information CentreGriffith VIC, cnr Banna Ave & Jondaryn Ave, Griffith NSWPh: 1800 681 141Email: visitgriffith@griffith.com.auwww.visitgriffith.com.auCasual Parking (near retail centre)Two dedicated parking zones. 1.
