Following on from the success of our Northern Gramps Girls Can campaign last year where council lit up exercise spaces in the early mornings, several of the shire’s sporting facilities are due to light up again in 2026. Between May 4 and September 30, spaces in Stawell and St Arnaud will light up from 6pm to 7.30pm on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and from 6am and 7am on Wednesday mornings.
Nestled in the heart of Halls Gap, and only a short ten minute stroll to the Visitor Information Centre, Cedar Country Retreat offers you more than accommodation, but a home away from home. With a warm country feel and all of the modern amenities, this recently renovated property still retains its rustic charm.
The three beautifully appointed bedrooms are all located upstairs and can comfortably sleep six people. Each room has its own personality, with sweeping mountain views from every room. A deck adjacent to the master lets you explore the night sky of an evening.
