Dimboola

Named after the stunning pink lake near Dimboola, known as Lake Lochiel. It is a mesmerising natural wonder, with a vibrant hue responsive to the sky, created by the high salt content and unique microorganisms. This striking sight has inspired not only awe in visitors but also a sense of creativity, leading to the establishment of an art gallery that bears its name. The breathtaking landscapes that surround the lake, celebrate both nature and artistic expression in one remarkable location.

The Pink Lake Gallery showcases an art collection of Australian artists.

Wimmera Steampunk Festival

2025

About

The Wimmera Steampunk Festival blends Victoriana and Imagination. Set in the 19th-century railway town of Dimboola, the event celebrates the weird and wonderful. People of the Wimmera and beyond come together through creativity, festivities and an appreciation of 19th-century aesthetics.

Step into a reimagined Dimboola, a 19th-century Carnival of Peculiarities, where you are both a spectator and part of the spectacle. Diversity and inclusion are celebrated. Engage with street performers, marvel at stilt walkers, and be fascinated by fantastic mechanical contraptions. Get your fortune read, challenge yourself at Pinball Alley, or explore various entertainment options leisurely. It’s a night of pure escapism and imagination. The Carnival of Peculiarities is about celebrating your uniqueness and creativity.

There will be three stages: bands, performers and illusionists, food and drink vendors, exhibitions, and ribbon acrobatics. A children's lantern procession will open the event.

Wings

Wings, is a stunning multimedia artwork, created by Elly Broadbent.

It reflects an enigmatic flow of movement in the feathers of the wings, layered with the textures of watery marks, pen line and screen-printed features.

This artwork was made after a tragic loss in Elly’s family, and played as a visual comfort before it was created.

Elly visualises her art for a while before enacting on the visons she holds in her mind, creating and processing her artwork in her mind from start to finish. She says her visualisations are a form of therapy, that they serve as mediations. Once she creates her art, she is often surprised by the actuality of her thoughts and is satisfied that her visualisations arrive to their destination on paper.

This artwork comes in a limited edition print.
