Porta-copo Heart of Stawell and the Grampians

A sweeping view across the township of Stawell in Victoria, Australia, framed by native trees and set against the distant blue silhouette of the Grampians.

Church spires and historic buildings rise gently from the town centre, capturing the character and calm of regional Australia. This image celebrates country life, open skies, and the enduring charm of a classic Victorian town. Perfect for lovers of Australian landscapes, regional heritage, and serene wall art.
