Horsham: Horsham Aerodrome

Among Victoria’s regional cities, Horsham stands out for its setting on the Wimmera River, at the centre of the state’s grain-growing west. The city is an important service hub for the Wimmera, a broad inland district shaped by wheat, barley and other dryland farming. The river corridor and Horsham Botanic Gardens provide green public spaces close to the centre; the gardens were designed by noted landscape gardener William Guilfoyle. Horsham’s cultural life includes the Horsham Town Hall, a civic venue for performances and exhibitions, while the Grampians, also known as Gariwerd, rise to the south-east.

Among Australia’s regions, Victoria stands out for the remarkable variety packed between the Murray River and Bass Strait. The state combines fertile northern plains, the Central Victorian Goldfields, the forested Great Dividing Range and a long southern coast. Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
