ARTS, HISTORY AND CULTURE TRAIL 🎨🖼️🚂
 
Murrindindi Shire sits proudly on Taungurung and Wurundjeri Country, with some of our townships and place names derived from traditional language.
 
Dindi has long been a magnet for artists seeking inspiration from the spectacular landscapes, mountains, rivers and forests. Painters, potters, sculptors and textile artists work from studios and workshops scattered throughout the villages and hamlets of the region. From internationally lauded artists to local creatives, the region offers a unique art encounter.
 
An array of museums, historical societies and heritage trails scattered throughout the region tell tales of our goldrush and timber history that will leave you fascinated and looking for more. Drop into one of our Visitor Information Centres that showcase a wide range of local artworks alongside suggestions on how best to explore the area.
 
Galleries and exhibitions can be found in many cafes, restaurants and stores which support and value the contribution local artists make to the community. What better way to admire these works and wares than over a glass of local wine and a plate of regional produce, or a piping hot tea or coffee best enjoyed with some old-fashioned scones, jam and cream.
 
A year-round events calendar means there’s always plenty happening. And with so much to do, a weekend or multi-day getaway is a must, with a range of accommodation options on offer to suit all tastes and budgets.

About Murrindindi Shire

Just a short drive to the northeast of Melbourne you’ll discover Murrindindi Shire (or ‘Dindi’, as the locals call it). The gateway to Victoria's High Country, this is an area of stunning natural beauty - from the Goulburn River flats to the rugged peaks and cool temperate rainforests of the Great Dividing Range.
