About Grand Ridge
Grand Ridge is a small rural locality in Gippsland, Victoria, situated in the Strzelecki Ranges approximately 130 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. Covering around 150 square kilometres of undulating hill country, it is named after the scenic Grand Ridge Road — one of Victoria's most celebrated tourist drives — which winds through tall forests, lush farmland, and native bushland across the range. The area has a very small resident population and falls within the broader Wellington Shire local government area.
The Grand Ridge locality appeals to those who value solitude, natural beauty, and a deep rural lifestyle. The iconic Grand Ridge Road passes through the area, drawing cyclists, motorcyclists, and day-trippers who come to experience its sweeping views over Gippsland farmland and dense forested ridges. Nearby towns such as Mirboo North, Korumburra, and Leongatha provide essential services including supermarkets, schools, and medical facilities. The region is also noted for its proximity to wineries, artisan producers, and the South Gippsland and Strzelecki Ranges tourism circuit.
Grand Ridge falls under postcode 3870 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gippsland South (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
