Discover Stawell
Stawell is a quaint rural town that strikes a harmonious balance between its charming country atmosphere and proximity to its many amenities. It serves as an ideal base for exploring the natural wonders in its surroundings, providing residents with an authentic experience of rural tranquility while ensuring access to modern conveniences.
A touch of history
Stake your claim in a region steeped in history. The Stawell district's heartbeat was its thriving goldfields, dating back to the 1850s. This land of fortune was home to two of Victoria's richest mines, the illustrious Cross Reef and Magdala. Though the gold rush waned by the 1920s, the quest for gold experienced a renaissance in 1982, with the precious metal still being extracted today.
Embrace the Grampians
The Grampians are a mosaic of natural splendours and cultural treasures. Here, the possibilities to feel truly alive are endless. Immerse yourself in the great outdoors, savour the local food and wine, and engage with the rich cultural tapestry. Stawell stands proudly as the service hub of this remarkable region, a place many dream of calling home.
Live in a natural wanderlust
Witness the Grampians in full bloom, a botanical spectacle with over a thousand species of flowering plants, including some found nowhere else on Earth. This natural bounty was once hailed as Victoria's own garden. Each season, especially 'petyan', or the ‘season of wildflowers’ from late August to mid-November, transforms the landscape into a vibrant tapestry of colours and life, a celebration of nature's resilience and beauty.
