Panorama of Goldsworthy Park in Victoria Street in the town centre of Nhill, Wimmera, Victoria, Australia. Nhill with a population of about 2,300 is a town in the Wimmera region of Victoria, roughly half way between Melbourne and Adelaide on the Western Highway.
Before European settlement the area was inhabited by Wotjobaluk Aboriginal people for thousands of years. Today Nhill services the surrounding wheat growing and sheep grazing district and road transport due to its convenient location on the Western Highway and the railway line.
Victoria is Australia's second smallest State and covers only 3% of Australia's land area but has the second highest population of all States and Territories. Victoria's mainland and islands have a total length of 2,512 kilometres coastline which is about 4.2% of Australia's 59,736 kilometres of coastline. Australia is the driest inhabited continent and Victoria is no exception although the state capital Melbourne has the reputation to have 4 seasons in one day. Victoria is located in the southeast of mainland Australia and includes the most southern point on mainland Australia at Wilsons Promontory National Park.
