St Arnaud was founded in the

1850s as a gold mining town

during the Victorian gold rush.

The town’s name comes from

the French marshal, Jacques

Leroy de St Arnaud, who was

commander-in-chief of the East

during the Crimean war. It is the

second-largest township in the

Northern Grampians Shire and

is approximately 244 kilometres

north-west of Melbourne. St

Arnaud is known for its many

historic buildings and attractive

botanical gardens, often playing

host to travellers passing through

to regional centres such as

Bendigo, Ballarat and Horsham,

with the town ideally situated

between all three. St Arnaud

has Council offices, access to

primary and secondary schooling,

sporting clubs and clubs of other

interest, a hospital, medical

centre and other professional

services.

The Northern Grampians Shire

welcomes you to St Arnaud.

Halls Gap is a cat free zone. Because Halls Gap is in the middle of Grampians National Park, wildlife abounds. Domestic cats pose a threat to native birds and animals, not to mention the threat of introducing more feral cats into the park.The township is known as the heart of the Grampians, as it sits at the base of the mountains at the northern end of the Grampians National Park. Halls Gap is approximately 25 kilometres west of Stawell, and within an hour’s drive to regional centres such as Ararat and Horsham. With a smaller population

than Stawell and St Arnaud, the town receives a considerable and steady stream of visitors annually. With majestic views of the Grampians no matter which way you turn, the town is known as a tourism hub for the Northern Grampians, and has the ability to accommodate up to 5000 people. Halls Gap has access to primary schooling, a medical centre, pharmacy and close proximity to the Western Highway and the major township of Stawell. The Northern Grampians Shire welcomes you to Halls Gap.
