About Jeetho
Jeetho is a small rural locality in South Gippsland, Victoria, situated in the South Gippsland Shire approximately 125 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. With a 2021 Census population of 124 residents spread across around 20 square kilometres, Jeetho is a quiet agricultural community in the rolling dairy country that characterises this part of Gippsland. The locality sits between the towns of Leongatha to the north-west and Koonwarra to the south, within the fertile Strzelecki Ranges hinterland.
Like much of South Gippsland, Jeetho's economy is anchored in dairy farming and beef grazing, with the region's lush, green pastures supporting productive agriculture year-round. Residents rely on the nearby town of Leongatha for schools, supermarkets, medical services, and community facilities. The broader South Gippsland region is known for its scenic countryside, proximity to Wilsons Promontory National Park, and the Prom Coast, making it popular with those seeking a quieter rural lifestyle within reach of Melbourne.
Jeetho falls under postcode 3945 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gippsland South (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
