Leitchville is a small rural community in Victoria, located 262 kilometres north-west of Melbourne in the Murray River wetlands area. The town is known for its dairy farming, with plenty of irrigation providing farmers with lush pastures. Leitchville was once home to the Murray Goulburn Cheese Factory, and the site is still a prominent feature of the town since the factory ceased operating in 2010.

The Leitchville Traveller’s Rest is a convenient stopover for stays of up to 72 hours. The landscaped rest area is in the heart of town, and walking distance to the IGA supermarket, hotel, and bakery. A dump point and potable water are located nearby at the Leitchville Recreation Reserve, adjacent to the football ground off Cohuna-Leitchville Road.

The surrounding area of Leitchville is a wetland paradise, and an abundance of waterfowl and native animals are found in the region. Leitchville borders the natural sanctuary of Gunbower Creek and Island, where large colonies of kangaroos, emus, goannas, and more than 160 species of birds are supported.
