Heyfield is located on the Thompson River, 206 kilometres east of Melbourne, within the Wellington Shire Council district. It is seen as a gateway to the Alpine National Park and Victorian High Country. The Alpine National Park stretches from central Gippsland, all the way to the New South Wales Border, where it adjoins Kosciuszko National Park. Heyfield was established in the early 1840s, where an early settler described the district as resembling ‘a field of waving corn’ and it was from this the name Hayfield was coined. The town further developed as a stopping point for prospectors en route to the Gippsland goldfields. Today, Heyfield relies upon dairy, timber and tourism industries for its prosperity. It is the principal source of hardwood in Victoria and is home to one of the largest timber mills in the southern hemisphere.Those visiting Heyfield can field short-term parking at the old Gordon St Reserve, on the corner of Macfarlane & Clark Streets.

Meckering is located 130 kilometres east of Perth on the Great Eastern Highway. Originally settled in 1887 when the town was named Beebering, it was later renamed to Meckering, with an Aboriginal meaning of “place of water”. In 1968 Meckering was devastated by a major earthquake, which almost completely demolished the town. Whilst there are no original buildings remaining, a memorial rose garden has been established to signify the historical event.Overnight RV parking is available at the Meckering Memorial Park on Gabbedy Place, free of charge. A dump point, potable water, toilets, bins and covered seating are provided, and pets are permitted on leads.While visiting Meckering, be sure to stop in at the Salisbury Farmhouse Ruins to see the homestead preserved in its ruined state following the earthquake. Also within town is the ‘Big SLR Camera’, which makes a great ‘photo’ stop.Tourist/Visitor Centre       Cunderdin MuseumForrest St CunderdinPh: 08 9635 1291Casual Parking       Gabbedy Pl, MeckeringShort Term Parking           Meckering Memorial Park, Gabbedy Pl, 24hr, tlts, bins, pets on lead, c/seating, water, nil costDump Point  Gabbedy Pl, MeckeringPotable Water          Gabbedy Pl, MeckeringHospital        Cubbine St, Cunderdin, ph 08 9635 2222Doctors Surgery     Cubbine St, Cunderdin, ph: 08 9635 1352Pharmacy     Cunderdin Pharmacy, Main St, Cunderdin, ph: 08 9635 1497Supermarket            HCT Rural Agencies, Gabbedy Pl, Meckering, ph: 08 9625 1243
