- I travel to the Wimmera town of Dimboola to discover how an influx of art saved a town in decline. It was a town that was slowly dying until a remarkable transformation occurred recently. I also look at some of the natural pearls of the region including the Little Desert National Park, the Pink Lake and Lake Hindmarsh.
Ive been to the Imaginarium, its amazing and the two guys that run it are true gems.
Dimboola is my favourite halfway spot to stop on my way from SA to Vic, the caravan park there is beautiful
Mine too now. 😀
Lovely video. Well done and great to see country towns such as Dimboola being rejuvenated by dedicated visionaries.
Wow, what a fantastic tour of Dimboola. Dimmy as some affectionately call the town is well and truely coming up in the world. There are towns that are getting a new infusion of young blood and here is no exception. With leaf changers moving in to buy and renovate old homes along with young families building their dream home, the area is picking up. Along with new home owners brings business opportunities, and I’m looking forward to the soon-to-be arriving store holders along side recent additions. And don’t forget STEAMPUNK, best ever entertainment in the west.
It’s great to see. I’ll definitely be back to Dimmy 😀
It's nice to see. I was born there 67 years ago. I am am artist too.

Just finished watching. What a lovely town! I could happily live in a town like this! Thank you for showing it I enjoyed very much 😀
I came across a lot of enthusiasm in Dimboola. It has pretty cool vibe these days
@@LetsGo012 I’m binge watching your videos tonight love them, not sure why I’m just seeing your feed? But they are great and relaxing thank you
@suzymcgregor3122 You go girl! Enjoy 😀
Don’t go to Jeparit it’s actually evil
Another great video. thank you.
Dying? I don't think so. It is and always has been thriving. Changing, most definitely and in a very positive way.
How many empty shops? How many banks pulled out? How many local little manufacturers closed? Is it still the shire HQ? Still got the daily train service?
That is very interesting, I go past a couple of times a year on the highway and never stop ,I will certainly stop and spend time next time. Great video
@jeetts59 I did the same for years but I’m really glad I stopped this time. Now Dimboola will be my designated overnight stop every time I make that journey. It’s a lovely vibrant town😀
Can you do more videos in dimboola please. Amazing 🎉
My dad’s family came from there in the early 1900s. Lived in faith or fay street what I’ve been told.
My aunt and uncle owned the toy shop and antique shop
Dimboola has always thrived, in the 80's Kennet Decentralized all small Victoria town, but the town survived and families have always lived here. Most of the businesses here are local proprietors and it is not because of one business coming to town that others have come, we are local. Meran n Stoff have been in the Victoria Hotel for 10 yrs and it is a credit to them. The caravan park is second to none.
People have always be friendly.
It was dying, you should research a little deeper before U tubing inaccuracies.
I went to a high school reunion there some years back, I agree, it was totally dead, empty shops etc.
All sounds like BS to me. The art of self promotion me thinks
can you do laidley in queensland, going thete in august
