About Drung
Drung is a sparsely settled rural locality in the Wimmera region of north-western Victoria, situated within the broader Horsham district. Covering an expansive 110 square kilometres, the locality has a population of 119 residents across some 52 dwellings, reflecting the wide open, grain-growing country typical of the Wimmera plains. The median household income in the area is around 6,300, consistent with regional agricultural communities.
The landscape is defined by flat to gently undulating farmland devoted largely to cereal cropping — wheat, barley, and canola — along with sheep and mixed livestock farming. Horsham, the regional centre of the Wimmera, is the nearest town for services, shopping, schools, and healthcare. The locality falls within the Lowan state electoral district and the federal electorate of Wannon, both strongly rural in character.
Drung falls under postcode 3401 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lowan (Western Victoria) electorate.
