Pyramid Hill, Victoria

Pyramid Hill is a town in the Shire of Loddon, Victoria, Australia, between Bendigo and Kerang. As of the 2021 census, it had a population of 598. The town, which is named for a nearby hill, has walking trails and historic Art Deco architecture.

In 1836, Major Mitchell camped at a 180-metre-high granite rise he named Pyramid Hill, since its shape reminded him of Egypt's pyramids. It became part of a pastoral area. In the 1870s, a township appeared at the hill's base. After the railway station opened in 1884, the town grew quickly and moved 3 km west of the hill. Farming accounts for over 30% of employment. In 2008, a local piggery owner visited Manila to find workers, leading Pyramid Hill to develop a small Filipino community that has revitalised not just the farms but the town itself. Pyramid Hill has a team that plays in the Loddon Valley Football Netball League, and the Filipinos host an annual cultural fiesta.
