About Gerrigerrup
Gerrigerrup is a sparsely populated rural locality in south-western Victoria, situated within the South-West Coast electorate approximately 20 kilometres north-east of Heywood. Covering nearly 90 square kilometres, the area had just 31 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, reflecting its very remote and agricultural character. The locality forms part of Victoria's rich pastoral plains, characterised by broad open farmland used primarily for beef cattle and cropping.
With no township centre or commercial services of its own, Gerrigerrup is a true farming locality where residents rely on nearby towns — primarily Heywood and Hamilton — for all shopping, schooling, and services. The landscape is quintessential south-western Victorian pastoral country, with wide horizons and scattered farmsteads. It is a quiet, remote area suited to those who value privacy, space, and the rhythm of agricultural life.
Gerrigerrup falls under postcode 3289 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the South-West Coast (Western Victoria) electorate.
