EDENHOPE
Edenhope is a town that is on a quite
remote highway. Edenhope is a spur visit from either Hamilton or
Horsham. Therefore, although the town has all of the essential
services, this is a quiet place. Lake Wallace in an earlier era was a
catalyst for visitors.
The township of Edenhope
was established some years later than nearby Apsley, and the lack of
‘old’ or heritage buildings bears testimony to the later growth.
The town sits on the
shores of Lake Wallace, which is home to abundant water birds, and is
a popular fishing and water sports destination. However due to
Australia's decade long drought the lake water level decreased. Lake
Wallace is now filling, and the water bird population is slowly
increasing.

Now every visitor should
take the time to visit Lake Street in the grounds of the Secondary
College, there is a cairn commemorating the first all-Aboriginal
cricket team to go to England? This is really quite something and
gives cause to think.   
The churches in Edenhope
are representative of the town’s relatively young existence.  _small.JPG) _small.JPG)
Edenhope has just the
single hotel.
The Edenhope War Memorial
is located at the western end of the cbd precinct.  
Just to visit the
Aboriginal Cricket Citation is enough to take what will be a long
diversion. Don’t be put off.
