It is 271km north-west of Melbourne.[3] The town is situated on the railway line south-east of Warracknabeal, north of Minyip.[4] The original inhabitants of the area around Sheep Hills were the Wotjobaluk aboriginal tribe.[5] Sheep Hills was the name of a farm operated by Archibald McMillan in 1847.[4] The population boosted in the mid-1870s when many migrants, mostly German and Scottish, began farming in the area.[4] The district was named Bangerang (the name of a Lutheran school) and Tarkedia (the name of a State school).[4] In 1886 the railway from Minyip was extended to Warracknabeal, and many settled around the station, forming the township under the name of Sheep Hills.[4] As of 2016, Sheep Hills has a cricket, a golf and a tennis club.[6] Also in use is the Sheep Hills Town Hall.[6] References1. ^{{Census 2016 AUS|id=SSC22259 |name=Sheep Hills (State Suburb) |accessdate=19 March 2018 |quick=on}} {{Towns in Yarriambiack Shire}}{{Wimmera}}2. ^http://weather.mla.com.au/climate-history/vic/sheep-hills 3. ^http://postcodez.com.au/postcode/vic/sheep-hills 4. ^1 2 3 4 http://www.victorianplaces.com.au/sheep-hills 5. ^Reader's Digest Illustrated Guide to Australian Places, 1993. 6. ^1 http://yarriambiack.vic.gov.au/about-yarriambiack-council/community-directory/sheep-hills/ 2 : Towns in Victoria (Australia)|Wimmera |
