Before European Settlement, this area was originally inhabited by the Tattyara and Wotjobaluk tribe who followed the water trail through the area when the swamps were full.  

Locally we have several sites including:
The scar tree just a short walk from the Caravan park. It is believed to be a message tree, located on South Kaniva Rd, just off Budjik St. (Budjik means Stone Axe and was the name the town was originally known as.)

Mooree Reserve was used as a camping ground, although all the scar trees have been removed, many locals comment that it still retains a special presence of place. Poocher Swamp near Bordertown is well worth a visit too. Nhill swamp wildlife reserve was their spirit place and corroboree ground, it is still a peaceful and tranquil place to visit

In the area:

• Dimboola Historical Museum is located in the old courthouse at 67 Lloyd St and has information on the local Aboriginals who lived along the Wimmera River. Stories from the Ebeneezer Mission, established 1859, give great insight into this era
• Follow the Aborginal Cricket Trail, through West Wimmera.
• Harrow Interpretive Centre tells the story of Johnny Mullagh and the first Australian cricket team who toured England in 1868.
• The Horsham silo tells the story of Dick-a-Dick, a Wotjobaluk tracker responsible for finding the three Duff children lost in the Australian bush for 9 days in 1864. A cairn at Jane Duff Highway Park commemorates the site  on the Natimuk- Frances Rd.
• Budj Bim World Heritage Site is well worth a visit. Tours are very popular must be booked in advanced.
• Brambruk in the Grampians is under renovations and closed at the moment. This centre offers extensive information on local Aboriginal culture, art, history and rock sites along with a bush tucker cafe.
