Welcome to Apsley, West Wimmera, Victoria
Apsley a little treasure, is located half way between Melbourne and Adelaide on the Wimmera Highway, 7km from the South Australian border.
The World Heritage Naracoorte Limestone Caves and the Coonawarra Winery region lie across the border, a short drive away.
Apsley is one of Victoria's oldest towns and had its beginnings as a key postal town. In 1849 Apsley was regarded as the cross roads between east, west, north and south. The road between the colonies of Victoria and South Australia merged and crossed here.
Surrounded by beautiful red gums, wetlands, flora and fauna, all still found in their natural environments, Apsley offers something for everyone.
As a community we welcome your interest in this unique part of Victoria.
The site is currently being built and maintained by a dedicated group from the Apsley and Districts Action Group. Over the coming months the site will continue to evolve, to reflect the community it represents. If you have any additions or corrections please contact Tanya Turner via email tmturner@activ8.net.au
