Ariah Park is a picturesque, heritage village established at the beginning of the twentieth century. The town is famed for the original retro petrol bowsers and peppercorn trees that line the main street and is home to the iconic Ariah Park Hotel.RV travellers in the region will be able to make use of the excellent facilities at Ariah Park Campground. Parking is available for up to 7 days, with powered sites available for $20 per vehicle per night and unpowered sites available for just $8 per vehicle per night. The campground offers access to showers and toilets, and a dump point and potable water is located at the site. The bronze wheat lumper statue was built in 2016 and is a tribute to the hardworking men who lumped and stacked bags of wheat until the advent of bulk grain handling in 1916 saw the construction of large concrete railway silos begin in the region.
