About Hallston

Hallston is a small rural locality in South Gippsland Shire, Victoria, situated in the gently undulating farmland approximately 25 kilometres south of Korumburra and 130 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. The locality covers nearly 50 square kilometres and is home to around 157 residents, making it one of the more modest communities in the broader South Gippsland dairying region. Its peaceful setting, with views across lush green paddocks, attracts those seeking an unhurried rural lifestyle.

Dairying and mixed farming have long defined Hallston's character, with farming families forming the backbone of the local community. The nearby townships of Leongatha and Foster provide access to schools, supermarkets, and other services. South Gippsland's stunning landscapes — including Wilsons Promontory National Park — are within close reach, making Hallston a practical base for nature lovers and those drawn to the quiet beauty of Victoria's south coast hinterland.

Hallston falls under postcode 3953 and is governed by South Gippsland Shire Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narracan (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
