<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horsham in Victoria is the largest city in the Wimmera wheat growing and sheep grazing district in western Victoria. It is located between Stawell<\/a> and Dimboola<\/a>, on the main highway linking Melbourne and Adelaide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horsham features a large commercial centre that lines much of Firebrace Street and extends into adjoining streets. The Horsham Plaza Shopping Centre can be found at the junction of Darlot Street and Wilson Street. Also located within the town centre are a number of cultural attractions. These include the Horsham Art Gallery which specialises in Australian photography, and several performing arts venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horsham – Home of Parks and Gardens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are several attractive parks and gardens in Horsham. At the top end of Darlot Street is May Park with its distinctive palm trees, manicured lawns, playground and BBQ shelters. The Horsham Botanic Gardens, on Firebrace Street, were designed by William Guilfoyle. William, the curator of the Melbourne Botanic Gardens, established the Horsham Gardens in 1873. They occupy a 16 hectare site along the northern side of the Wimmera River. They consist of formal gardens, wetlands, shaded lawns, woodlands, a lake and recreational facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wimmera River – Horsham Victoria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Wimmera River flows through the southern end of Horsham. The only road crossing in town is the twin bridges of the Western Highway. Parkland and ancient red gums line much of the river, and there are several boat ramps and picnic areas. At the end of Baillie Street is a native grass reserve which overlooks the river in Horsham’s eastern fringe. To the west, stroll or pedal along the scenic Lawrie Rudolph Walk. The Walk follows the path of the Wimmera River along its northern bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
