Our road trip from Melbourne to Perth was an adventure we had been planning for months. The excitement of hitting the open road was exhilarating, and we had mapped out several stops along the way to keep the journey engaging and enjoyable. One of them was Horsham, a small town in Victoria, which made for the perfect road trip lunch stop.
Why Horsham?
Located approximately halfway between Adelaide and Melbourne, Horsham was an ideal location for us to take a break, stretch our legs, and enjoy a hearty meal. This town boasts a population of around 16,500 people and is known for its charming atmosphere and vibrant community. It’s a hub for agriculture and transportation, which means a variety of fresh local produce is usually available (source: Victoria Councils).
