As we wave goodbye to a long winter, the upcoming warmer months will see the Loddon Valley’s astounding natural beauty come to the fore – the perfect time to discover the region’s magnificent scenery.

Whether it’s boating, fishing, paddling or walking and cycling along the numerous trails, exploring extensive waterways, blooming state and national parks or its rich history, heritage and culture – a visit to the Loddon Valley is a must.

Popular boating and fishing spots can be found along the Loddon River at Bridgewater, Newbridge, Laanecoorie Weir and the Boort Lakes and rivers.

For nature lovers, the Loddon Valley serves as a gateway to state and national parks, including the Kooyoora State Park, Melville Caves and the 1200-hectare Inglewood Nature

Conservation Reserve. The Pyramid Hill area features three towering 460 million-year-old granite outcrops – The Hill, Terrick Terrick National Park and Mount Hope, all providing

panoramic views.

If you’re after history, then the Loddon Valley has you covered. Explore Wedderburn’s rich history, heritage and culture or the former gold-rush town of Tarnagulla – where you can also try your luck at gold fossicking.

Take the time for a stroll around the town of Inglewood, which features a number of stores offering an eclectic mix of antiques and collectibles. A visit to the town’s Eucy Distillery
Museum is also not to be missed.
