About Almonds
Almonds is a quiet rural locality in northeastern Victoria, nestled within the flat irrigation country of the Murray Valley approximately 15 kilometres from Cobram and 260 kilometres north of Melbourne. The locality covers around 32 square kilometres of productive agricultural land used primarily for fruit orchards, dairy farming, and broad-acre cropping. With a population of just 31 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, Almonds is one of the more sparsely settled localities in the Moira Shire region. Its position in the fertile Murray-Goulburn irrigation district gives it a distinctive agricultural character shared with nearby towns like Yarrawonga and Cobram.
Life in Almonds revolves around the steady rhythms of farming and the peace of deep country living, far removed from urban pressures. Residents enjoy the wide open skies, clean air, and strong sense of self-reliance that defines rural Victoria's irrigation heartland. The nearby town of Cobram — just a short drive away — provides shopping, schools, medical services, and a community hub, while the Murray River offers popular recreational opportunities including fishing, boating, and swimming. The region's Italian-Australian farming heritage has shaped local food culture and community identity over generations.
Almonds falls under postcode 3727 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ovens Valley (Northern Victoria) electorate.
