About Bolinda
Bolinda is a small rural locality in the Macedon Ranges Shire of central Victoria, located approximately 55 kilometres north of Melbourne. Covering around 27 square kilometres, it sits in the gently undulating country of the lower Macedon Ranges, a region celebrated for its natural forests, pastoral scenery, and proximity to the landmark Hanging Rock. With a population of around 185 residents, Bolinda retains the quiet character of a traditional farming district on Melbourne's outer fringe.
The locality is well positioned for those who want a country lifestyle without straying too far from the city, with the towns of Riddells Creek and Romsey providing basic services and the Calder Freeway offering a reasonably direct route to Melbourne. The broader Macedon Ranges Shire is known for its artisan food and wine scene, heritage villages, and outdoor recreation, all of which are accessible from Bolinda. Bolinda Hall serves as a community focal point for local events and gatherings.
Bolinda falls under postcode 3432 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Macedon (Northern Victoria) electorate.
