The Wimmera is a region in the west of the Australian state of Victoria.
It covers the dryland farming area south of the range of Mallee scrub, east of the South Australia border and north of the Great Dividing Range. It can also be defined as the land within the social catchment of Horsham, its main settlement.
Most of the Wimmera is very flat, with only the Grampians and Mount Arapiles rising above vast plains and the low plateaux that form the Great Divide in this part of Victoria. The Grampians are very rugged and tilted, with many sheer sandstone cliffs on their eastern sides, but gentle slopes on the west.
At the 2006 census, the Wimmera statistical division had a population of 48,443.
The area contains a number of important towns, such as Horsham, Warracknabeal, Dimboola, Stawell and Nhill. Almost all of these are largely dependent on the grain and sheep industries, and are usually dominated by flour mills and grain storage silos. The smaller towns in the area are dying due to the constantly declining value of the primary products that dominate the region's economy: modern farm technology allows individual farmers to stay viable by farming more land, but the lower population and better transport make smaller service centres less and less viable.
Sometimes it's gonna be days like this
Sometimes it's gonna be rain like this
Sometimes you're gonna feel pain like this
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
Because when u feeling low
And u cant get no lower
That's when u know your close
Sometimes u gotta work hard for it
Woke up in the morning
It's another cloudy day
But that never mattered too much to me
'Cause it's still a new beginning
And I know I got it in me
Had my share of ups and downs
But now I know I can do anything
Some people think I'm aggressive
'Cause I know what I want
But that never mattered too much to me
Show me some body with no goal
Show me some body with no control
'Cause life is for living
So go and get it
When times get rough remember
Sometimes it's gonna be days like this
Sometimes it's gonna be rain like this
Sometimes you're gonna feel pain like this
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
Because when u feeling low
And u can't get no lower
That's when u know your close
Sometimes u gotta work hard for it
Ohh gotta get it
Hey hey hey
Sometimes the road may seem too far
You never really know for sure
If you're ever gonna make it
Sometimes the end may seem so far
You never really know for sure
If u got the strength to make it
But u gotta remember
Sometimes it's gonna be days like this
Sometimes it's gonna be rain like this
Sometimes you're gonna feel pain like this
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
Because when u feeling low
And u can't get no lower
That's when u know your close
Sometimes u gotta work hard for it
Days like this
Rain like this
Do it cause I love it
Feel like this
