Hopetoun

Hopetoun is a rural township in the Mallee region of north-west Victoria. It is on the Henty Highway and the railway line directly north of Horsham and Warracknabeal. Hopetoun came about from a settlement beside Lake Coorong, which is fed by the Yarriambiack Creek. The creek, which is a distributary of the Wimmera River that has headwaters in the Grampians, flows parallel to most of the Henty Highway and ends in the lake.
