Welcome to...
Pyramid Hill, in Victoria, a small town on the state's northern plains,which has a population of approx 500 and is named after the adjacent granite hill with its many interesting rock formations.  The original survey for the township was on the south side of the hill  but with the opening of the railway in 1885
the town was  moved to its present site.  A cairn on the southern slopes of the granite pyramid commemorates the explorer Major Sir Thomas Mitchell who discovered and named this area on June 30th 1836 during his journey into "Australia Felix".  From the top of the hill, which rises 187m above sea level,  there is a wonderful view of the township and surrounding irrigated farmlands.  A new 2km safe and attractive pathway winds around the base of Pyramid Hill, linking  an existing 3km walk from the town.  For the more adventurous the track also extends across the "saddle" of the hill.

Wildflowers abound in the spring and the hill reserve is a popular picnic spot with tables, a barbeque
and toilet facilities.
 
The picturesque 18-hole Golf Course surrounding the hill is open to members & visitors from April to September.
 
While Pyramid Hill is a relatively small town it has much to offer in terms of lifestyle  -  a sunny, dry climate, shopping, schools, churches, with numerous community organisations and sporting clubs. 
V/Line City link runs a twice daily rail service to and from Melbourne, and the regional centre of Bendigo is within an hours drive. 

An airstrip on the edge of town accommodates light aircraft.  

Visiting medical doctors are supported by the District Nursing Service and the frail aged are cared for
in the Hostel. 

Local manufacturing industries are the towns largest employers.
