About Murrayville
Murrayville is a small Mallee town located on the Mallee Highway in north-western Victoria, approximately 536 kilometres north-west of Melbourne and just 24 kilometres east of the South Australian border. It falls within the Mildura Rural City Council area and sits in the vast, flat Mallee scrubland — one of Australia's most distinctive semi-arid agricultural regions. With a population of approximately 278 residents, the local economy is anchored by dryland farming, primarily wheat and sheep grazing across the sprawling pastoral runs that define this remote corner of Victoria.
Murrayville township serves as a service centre for surrounding farming families, with a hotel, fuel facilities, and basic amenities along the Mallee Highway. The nearest larger centre is Ouyen, approximately 100 kilometres to the east, while Mildura provides full urban services around 270 kilometres away. For those who embrace wide-open spaces, flat horizons, and the tight-knit community life characteristic of the Mallee, Murrayville offers an affordable and authentic outback Victorian experience far from metropolitan pressures.
Murrayville falls under postcode 3512 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mildura (Northern Victoria) electorate.
