About Drummond North
Drummond North is a small rural locality straddling the Shire of Hepburn and Mount Alexander Shire in central Victoria, approximately 100 kilometres north-west of Melbourne and 60 kilometres from Bendigo. Covering around 52 square kilometres at an elevation of 535 metres, the locality lies in the rolling hill country between the historic goldfields towns of Castlemaine and Kyneton. The area is home to a small population of approximately 203 residents, characterised by a mix of hobby farmers, lifestyle properties, and traditional agricultural holdings.
The locality is predominantly a wine-growing and livestock region, with Back Creek — a tributary of the Coliban River — running through its undulating terrain. The nearby towns of Drummond, Kyneton, and Castlemaine provide residents with essential services, schools, and community facilities. Drummond North appeals to those seeking a quiet, semi-rural lifestyle in the Central Highlands wine region, within a comfortable drive of Melbourne via the Calder Freeway or regional train to Kyneton.
Drummond North falls under postcode 3446 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Macedon (Northern Victoria) electorate.
