WELCOME  TO  EDENHOPE

​Located on the Wimmera Highway, this rural town and surrounding district, offers visitors a warm welcome and unique experiences. Edenhope is located on the southern shore of Lake Wallace, which covers an area of 200 hectares. Popular with locals and visitors, the lake has many amenities. It is stocked with redfin and trout and has several jetties and boat ramps. There are bird hides and a scenic, 5km walking track surrounding the lake. The area has over 120 bird species including the rare Red-tailed Black Cockatoo. The ‘Icons of Edenhope’ bird murals in the main street showcase the diverse bird life in vivid colour. 

Call into the Visitor Centre inside the Old Court House, a listed building. The Magistrate’s Bench, Prisoners Dock and the Public Gallery have been preserved in immaculate condition. Adjacent is the wooden prison lockup built in 1860-1870, located in a pretty country garden.

Nearby, a cairn and mural is located at the Edenhope College. The cairn honours an elite team of Aboriginal station workers who trained on the banks of the lake and became the first Australian International Touring Cricket Team in 1868.  In the main street, a panel mural depicts all the characters in the team and their stories. 

Edenhope is home to the only Dachshund Museum in the Southern Hemisphere. Drop in and see the biggest
collection of all things Dachshund and say hello to Neddy & Leroy! Discover hidden treasures at Edenhope Antiques and local arts and crafts at the RedTail Gallery. Both are located in Elizabeth St, so be sure to visit as part of your trip. 

Edenhope has many experiences to offer, so stay a while and enjoy the galleries, shops, eateries and beautiful parks and gardens.
