Alive with opportunity
Boasting substantial areas of national park and renewed indigenous vegetation, Hindmarsh Shire is alive with flora and fauna, not to mention opportunities for your family to grow.
Almost two-thirds of all businesses in the area are related to agriculture, primarily grain and sheep production, and more recently oilseeds and legumes. Of course, right across the historic towns of Dimboola, Nhill, Rainbow and Jeparit, farming and associated enterprises are fully complemented by a flourishing suite of employment opportunities in trades, retail, health, education and professional services.
From lakes to museums, jazz festivals to eco-tourism, Hindmarsh Shire is one of western Victoria’s best kept secrets—one you’ll want to be in on.

One of the biggest concerns of anyone considering a move to regional Victoria is that of employment. Will there be the type of employment you’re after, and will there be enough of it? You’re definitely not alone in asking these questions.
Finding and then moving into a new home is always an exciting process. Sure, it has its headaches along the way, but there’s nothing quite like the thrill of that first night in a new house. And when the new house happens to be in a whole new region, the thrill only intensifies.
You may not be aware that regional Victoria is home to some of the best schools in the state. True, you won’t find the concentration of options that you have in Melbourne, but you’ll still find plenty of quality choice across all levels of schooling.
