Panorama of the train station and grain silos at Goyura, Victoria, Australia. Proclaimed in 1889 Goyura was a small township north of Warracknabeal with an estimated population of 250 between 1887 to the late 1950s. Goyura was the first officially gazetted township in the former Karkarooc Shire. Nowadays only 3 large grain silos and a memorial marker remind of the former pioneer township.
Victoria is Australia's second smallest State and covers only 3% of Australia's land area but has the second highest population of all States and Territories. Victoria's mainland and islands have a total length of 2,512 kilometres coastline which is about 4.2% of Australia's 59,736 kilometres of coastline. Australia is the driest inhabited continent and Victoria is no exception although the state capital Melbourne has the reputation to have 4 seasons in one day. Victoria is located in the southeast of mainland Australia and includes the most southern point on mainland Australia at Wilsons Promontory National Park.
