Nhill is a town in the Wimmera, in western Victoria, Australia. Nhill is located on the Western Highway, halfway between Adelaide and Melbourne. At the 2016 census, Nhill had a
population of 1,749.[1] "Nhill" is believed to be a Wergaia word meaning "early morning mist rising over water"[4] or "white mist rising from the water".[5]
Nhill is the administrative headquarters for Shire of Hindmarsh[6] and residents are mainly employed in either farming or food processing, most notably in grain and fowl.
The town is home to a community of Karen people, the first of whom came to Australia as refugees, and who settled in Nhill in the early 2010s to work at the Luv-a-Duck food processing facility. In 2012, there were over 100 Karen residents in Nhill.[7]
