About Mitiamo
Mitiamo is a small rural town in the Shire of Loddon in northern Victoria, located 222 kilometres north of Melbourne and approximately 67 kilometres north of Bendigo. Covering a large area of nearly 197 square kilometres of flat agricultural land, the town sits within the broad plains of the Loddon Valley, an area historically known for wheat cropping, sheep grazing, and more recently irrigation farming. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 116, reflecting the rural decline typical of small inland towns in the region.
Mitiamo's small but tight-knit community is centred on Joffre Street, where a post office and general store provide basic services to residents across the surrounding farmland. The town has a football oval and retains the character of a classic Victorian country settlement with deep agricultural roots dating to the 1870s. Pyramid Hill, the nearest town of any size, is approximately 23 kilometres to the north-west, while Bendigo provides access to a full range of services and transport connections. The area's flat, open landscape is popular with birdwatchers, thanks to the nearby Terrick Terrick National Park.
Mitiamo falls under postcode 3573 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray Plains (Northern Victoria) electorate.
