The small town of Natimuk is located between Horsham and Edenhope in the Wimmera agricultural region.

The town dates back to the 1870s when it supported the vast sheep stations in the area, but the growth of nearby Horsham eventually resulted in the town's decline. The many historic buildings which line Natimuk's main street are a legacy to its prosperous past, including the court house which was built in 1890.

Natimuk is situated in an area which is popular with rock climbers and the nearby Mt Arapiles is one of Australia's best abseiling venues, attracting enthusiasts from overseas. There are two easily accessible lookouts at Mt Arapiles which provide scenic views of the surrounding lakes and pastures. During late September and early October, the yellow canola blooms, creating splashes of bright colour.

Four kilometres north of the town centre is Lake Natimuk which is ideal for boating or fishing. Further north is the Little Desert National Park with its arid landscape and wildflowers.

Mitre Rock is a sacred Aboriginal site consisting of a large rocky outcrop surrounded by a small reserve. It is located around 10 kilometres west of Natimuk on the road to Goroke.
