Jeparit

Jeparit’s great claim to fame is that it is the birthplace of Sir Robert Menzies, Australia’s longest serving Prime Minister. Menzies Square is located on the original site of the Menzies family store and home and gives insight into Menzies’ life and legacy.

Just north of Jeparit is Lake Hindmarsh. Though usually dry, after significant rain seasons Lake Hindmarsh becomes the largest natural freshwater lake in Victoria fed by the Wimmera River.

Jeparit is a great place for boating, fishing, cycling, walking and birdwatching. For an insight into the history and agricultural development of the area be sure to visit the Wimmera Mallee Pioneer Museum.
