About Glengarry
Glengarry is a small rural locality in Victoria's Latrobe Valley, situated within the Latrobe City council area approximately 18 kilometres west of Traralgon and around 150 kilometres east of Melbourne. Covering an expansive 97.66 square kilometres of Gippsland farming land, the locality has a population of 1,113 with a median age of 40 and a median household income of around $2,116 per week. The area's predominantly Anglo-Celtic ancestry and high share of Australian-born residents reflect its deep roots as an established rural community.
Glengarry is characterised by the rolling green paddocks and dairy farms typical of the Latrobe Valley, with cattle grazing and mixed agriculture defining the landscape. Residents access services in Traralgon and Moe, both within a 20-minute drive, while the locality's spacious acreage properties attract families seeking a rural lifestyle with reasonable access to regional centres. The broader Latrobe Valley is undergoing economic renewal following the transition away from its historic coal industry, with new investment and lifestyle migration bringing gradual change to the region.
Glengarry falls under postcode 3854 and is governed by Latrobe Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gippsland South (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
