About Mincha

Mincha is a tiny rural locality in the Shire of Loddon in north-central Victoria, covering an expansive area of approximately 81 square kilometres. With just 62 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, Mincha is one of Victoria's smallest localities by population, situated in the flat farming country of the Loddon Plains between the towns of Kerang and Pyramid Hill. The area is characterised by vast open paddocks, cereal crops, and the quiet rhythms of small-scale agriculture.

Mincha and its immediate surroundings are deeply rural in character, with farming — primarily grain growing and livestock — forming the backbone of local livelihoods. The locality has no significant township or commercial infrastructure; residents travel to nearby Kerang for services, shops, and schools. The Loddon region is known for its wetlands and birdlife, and the nearby Kerang Lakes area is a popular destination for nature lovers and birdwatchers. Mincha suits those seeking an extremely peaceful, affordable rural lifestyle in regional Victoria.

Mincha falls under postcode 3575 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray Plains (Northern Victoria) electorate.
