About McKenzie Creek
McKenzie Creek is a small rural locality in the Rural City of Horsham, in Victoria's Grampians region, situated approximately 300 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. Named after the McKenzie Creek waterway that flows through the area, it covers about 37 square kilometres of largely agricultural land typical of the Wimmera district. With a population of around 140 residents, the locality has a quiet, dispersed character common to farming communities of western Victoria.
The surrounding landscape is dominated by broad acre cropping and pastoral grazing, with the region known for its wheat and sheep production. Residents rely on the nearby city of Horsham — roughly 15 to 20 kilometres away — for shopping, health services, schools, and community facilities. Like most small Wimmera localities, McKenzie Creek suits those seeking a genuine rural lifestyle with wide open spaces and a close connection to the land.
McKenzie Creek falls under postcode 3401 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lowan (Western Victoria) electorate.
