The township of Natimuk is over 125 years old and many historic buildings still grace its main street.  Natimuk_ or "little creek" is its Aboriginal meaning, is situated 20 kilometres west of Horsham, 8 kilometres east of Mount Arapiles and south of the Little Desert National Park.

 

In recent times Natimuk has seen renewed interest thanks to nearby Mount Arapiles.  Climbers flock from around the world, eager to tackle the challenging cliffs.  Mount Arapiles is a spectacular feature, rising sharply from the Wimmera plains to form part of the Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park.  The 5 060 hectare park is valuable for nature conservation, with about 14% of the State's flora species represented in the Mount Arapiles section alone.
