About Mooralla
Mooralla is a large, sparsely settled rural locality in the Southern Grampians Shire of western Victoria, approximately 330 kilometres west of Melbourne. At nearly 239 square kilometres, it is one of the more expansive localities in the region, yet recorded a 2021 Census population of just 79 residents across 30 dwellings, reflecting the wide open sheep and cattle grazing country that characterises this part of the Western District. The locality falls within the federal electorate of Wannon and lies in the broader Glenelg–Southern Grampians region.
Mooralla's landscape is defined by rolling pastoral plains and open skies typical of Victoria's western interior, with farming — primarily sheep and cattle grazing — forming the foundation of local life. The nearest service towns are Coleraine, approximately 30 kilometres to the north-east, and Casterton, around 30 kilometres to the west, both of which offer supermarkets, schools, and basic services. Hamilton, the regional centre of the Southern Grampians, lies approximately 55 kilometres to the north-east and provides a full range of services including a hospital, secondary schools, and a commercial centre. The nearby Grampians National Park to the north-east draws visitors and provides outdoor recreation opportunities for residents of the broader region.
Mooralla falls under postcode 3314 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lowan (Western Victoria) electorate.
