The town of New Italy was established in 1882 by early Italian settlers to this part of Australia. One can only imagine this new beginning for those who travelled to Australia at that time. We cannot fail to be impressed by their resolve and determination to make a new life so far from their origins.
Nothing remains of the town itself, but a Museum has been set up to commemorate the life of these pioneers, and their contribution to the district.
More detailed information can be found at the New Italy website.
