About Lah
Lah is a small farming locality in the Wimmera region of Victoria, situated on the Henty Highway between Warracknabeal and Brim in the Shire of Yarriambiack. The area is characterised by flat, open wheat and sheep country typical of the Victorian Mallee-Wimmera transition zone. At the 2016 census, Lah recorded a population of approximately 48 people, reflecting its character as a scattered rural locality centred around agricultural holdings. The landscape is dominated by broad cereal cropping paddocks interspersed with remnant native vegetation.
Lah serves the agricultural community of the surrounding farming district and is accessible via the Henty Highway, which connects the larger regional centres of Warracknabeal (approx. 25 km north) and Horsham (approx. 50 km south). The locality has minimal services of its own, with residents relying on Warracknabeal for shopping, schools, and medical services. The Wimmera region is also known for its mallee scrubland reserves and the Big Desert Wilderness. Lah suits farming families and those who prefer a highly rural lifestyle with minimal infrastructure.
Lah falls under postcode 3393 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mildura (Northern Victoria) electorate.
