Cudgee is a small rural locality in the Shire of Moyne in south-western Victoria, situated approximately 15 kilometres east of Warrnambool and 241 kilometres west of Melbourne. The locality covers around 22 square kilometres of flat to gently undulating farmland in the state’s fertile south-west, with a small community of around 311 residents. Dairy farming has long been central to the local economy, reflecting the broader agricultural character of the Moyne Shire and the region’s lush pastures.
Cudgee retains a classic small Victorian country town feel, with a local primary school, public hall, and tennis courts serving as community anchors. The nearby localities of Allansford and Panmure each have a hotel and general store, supplementing local needs, while Warrnambool offers a full range of services including shopping, hospitals, and a university campus. The locality appeals to farming families and those seeking affordable rural living within easy reach of the regional amenities of one of Victoria’s major south-west cities.
