About Arnold West
Arnold West is a tiny rural locality in central Victoria, located approximately 25 kilometres north-west of Bendigo within the Greater Bendigo municipality. With a population of just 19 residents spread across 35 square kilometres, it is one of the smallest communities in the region. The area features flat to gently undulating farmland typical of the northern Victorian goldfields fringe.
Arnold West is a quintessential small Australian farming community where agriculture — predominantly sheep grazing and cropping — dominates the landscape. The locality has no shops or services of its own; residents travel to nearby Raywood or Bendigo for all necessities. The area offers affordable rural land, wide open skies, and the peace and quiet that comes with very low population density, appealing to farmers and those seeking complete rural seclusion.
Arnold West falls under postcode 3551 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ripon (Western Victoria) electorate.
