About Antwerp
Antwerp is a small town in Victoria, Australia on the
Dimboola – Rainbow Road, in the Shire of
Hindmarsh, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) north of
Dimboola and 356 kilometres (221 mi) north-
west of Melbourne. The Wimmera River is located
500 metres (550 yd) west of Antwerp.
Today, the ruins of the Ebenezer Mission to
Aborigines have been restored and is Antwerp's
tourist attraction. A downsized town remains with a
few houses, the grain silos adjoining the railway
line, the hall and the bridge with
tennis courts across the other side. The Antwerp
Tennis Club is still competing.
The grain facilities are currently not utilised, with
the railway siding used to store surplus grain
wagons.
