Kaniva is the last reasonable sized town on the Western Highway before leaving Victoria. The town is set in the standard flat Wimmera environment. The main street through town has had a recent upgrade and now looks quite cool (in the 1980's it was quite shabby). The town is known for its spring wildflowers and also has a shoe museum in town. Little Desert National Park lies to the south.
