About Us
The historically rich farming town of Carnamah has a great emphasis on tourism. With the Painted Roads Initiative a major attraction, three murals have been painted on the walls of local businesses. The "Grain Man" statue and child's playground are new editions to the traveller’s rest stop in Yarra Street, and a short drive in any direction will see you surrounded by wildflowers (Aug – Oct annually).
Pack a picnic and check out Macpherson Homestead, overlook the Yarra Yarra Lakes from the lookout, or just wander through the town and meet some of the friendly locals. For a step back in time, the Museum is open on Friday afternoons. There’s always something to see or do in Carnamah.
