About Coonooer Bridge
Coonooer Bridge is a small rural locality in the Shire of Buloke in north-western Victoria, located approximately 263 kilometres north-west of Melbourne and 17 kilometres north of St Arnaud. Set in the broad agricultural plains between Bendigo and Horsham, the locality takes its name from the Coonooer Bridge spanning Avoca River. With just 30 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, it is one of Victoria's most sparsely populated localities, characterised by open farmland and a strong agricultural heritage.
The locality is centred around a small community hall and the historic bridge over the Avoca River, which serves as a quiet gathering point for locals. St Arnaud, the nearest service town, provides residents with schools, medical services, and retail shopping. The surrounding region is known for dryland farming including grain and wool production, attracting those who value wide open spaces and a deeply rural lifestyle far from the hustle of major cities.
Coonooer Bridge falls under postcode 3477 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ripon (Western Victoria) electorate.
