About Monak
Monak is a small rural locality in the Wentworth Shire of outback New South Wales, located approximately 32 km south-east of Mildura in the heart of the Sunraysia region. The area sits in the flat, semi-arid Murray-Darling basin where irrigated horticulture - including citrus, grapes, and stone fruit - defines the landscape. With a population of just 60, Monak is one of the region's more remote communities, characterised by wide skies and agricultural enterprise.
Daily life in Monak is closely tied to the rhythms of farming and the seasons, with residents relying on Mildura for all major services, shopping, and healthcare. The Murray River corridor nearby offers excellent fishing, water sports, and camping opportunities that attract visitors from across Victoria and NSW. It suits those who value solitude, wide open spaces, and a deep connection to Australia's agricultural heartland.
Monak falls under postcode 2738 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray electorate.
