The Wimmera: A Journey Through Western Victoria

The Wimmera is in western Victoria  and the lifeblood of this region is the Wimmera River, named by Major Thomas Mitchell and his guide John Piper, a Wiradjuri man who led an expedition through the area in 1836.  This book is a stunning written and photographic documentary, focusing on the small towns that dot the Wimmera. The book follows the various used and disused railway lines, stopping at places like Glenorchy, Dimboola, Nhill, Serviceton, Jeparit, Harrow, Apsley and just about everywhere else in between.  The Wimmera is a land of contrasts, from dryland scrub in the north to stately trees and rolling green hills in the south.

The Wimmera is a partner volume to The Mallee: A Journey Through North-West Victoria.
