Welcome

Murrayville Centenary

Easter Weekend Celebrations ~ 2010

Plans are well in hand for celebrations planned for April 2010, as Murrayville celebrates 100 years since settlement. A weekend of activities and events has been organised from Friday 2 April - Monday 5 April. The community of Murrayville invites you to come back and visit this unique oasis and relive experiences from your time in the heart of the Mallee and spend time catching up with family and old friends.  We encourage everyone with ties to the town and surrounding community to visit and make these celebrations a huge success!

The town of Murrayville is located 22km east of the South Australian border on the Mallee Highway in the heart of the unique Mallee country in north-west Victoria. Murrayville is a prosperous and well-appointed small town in an agricultural corridor bounded on the north by the vast Murray-Sunset National Park and on the south by the Big Desert Wilderness Park. It is described as the ‘Gateway to the Victorian Outback’ and it is no wonder considering there are so many fascinating attractions and activities in and around this Mallee town.

Murrayville has so much to offer and is an ideal place to stay and explore the many wonders of the Mallee. Be amazed by the unique wildflowers and wildlife, beautiful sunsets and a fascinating history like no other place in Victoria. The roadsides provide a vivid floral display from July to December with wattles in bloom and then hop bushes covered in their colourful seed pods. A 4WD is optional, as some of the area’s best wildflowers grow within the town perimeter.

THE TRAIN FINALLY RAN!!

The first project from the Murrayville Community plan reached completion on Friday 12th February, when the first grain freight train arrived in Murrayville, after a three year battle by the community to have the line re-opened.
