About Lawler
Lawler is a tiny rural locality in the Yarriambiack Shire of Victoria's Wimmera region, situated on the flat agricultural plains approximately 380 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. With a recorded population of just 16 people, it is one of the smallest localities in Victoria, scattered across roughly 43 square kilometres of dryland farming country. The surrounding landscape is dominated by wheat and canola paddocks, with the expansive open skies characteristic of the Wimmera.
Life in Lawler revolves around farming and the tightly knit rural community of the broader Wimmera district. The nearest services and amenities are found in Warracknabeal, the administrative centre of Yarriambiack Shire, located approximately 20 kilometres away. Residents enjoy a quiet, self-sufficient lifestyle connected to the land, with the wide open spaces and clear starry nights that define rural Victoria's outback fringe.
Lawler falls under postcode 3480 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ripon (Western Victoria) electorate.
