About Berriwillock
Berriwillock is a small township in Victoria's Mallee region, situated 333 kilometres north-west of Melbourne on the Calder Highway, roughly halfway between Bendigo and Mildura, within the Buloke Shire Council area. The township sits in the heart of flat Mallee farming country, an area renowned for its dryland grain cropping and the wide, open skies that characterise north-western Victoria. With a population of around 180 residents and a land area of over 235 square kilometres, Berriwillock is a sparse and rural community where farming is the backbone of local life.
The Calder Highway provides a key transport link, with the larger service towns of Sea Lake and Birchip accessible within the Buloke Shire for schools, health services, and essential supplies. Swan Hill, approximately 77 kilometres to the west on the Murray River, offers a broader range of retail and services. Berriwillock suits those who thrive in a rural, tight-knit community environment, with the peaceful Mallee landscape and grain farming culture defining the character of the area.
Berriwillock falls under postcode 3531 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mildura (Northern Victoria) electorate.
