About Jarvis Creek
Jarvis Creek is a small rural locality in the Shire of Towong in north-east Victoria, situated approximately 270 kilometres from Melbourne in the scenic Upper Murray region. Covering an expansive area of around 59 square kilometres, the locality is sparsely populated with approximately 40 residents, and sits close to the village of Old Tallangatta on the banks of Lake Hume. The surrounding landscape of mountain ranges, river valleys, and alpine high country defines the character of this remote and beautiful corner of Victoria.
Jarvis Creek is a true escape for those who value wide open spaces, outdoor adventure, and the tranquillity of remote rural living. The Upper Murray region offers world-class fishing, bushwalking, horse riding, and access to the Alpine National Park. The nearest town with meaningful services is Tallangatta, while Wodonga and Albury are accessible for major shopping and health services. The community is close-knit and characteristically self-reliant, attracting hobby farmers, retirees, and nature lovers drawn to the peace and natural beauty of far north-east Victoria.
Jarvis Creek falls under postcode 3700 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Benambra (Northern Victoria) electorate.
