About Percydale

Percydale is a tiny rural locality in the Loddon Shire of central Victoria, situated approximately 10 kilometres south of Dunolly. Nestled in the heart of the Victorian goldfields region, it covers a large area of around 70 square kilometres but supports only a handful of residents. The landscape is characterised by open farmland, scattered eucalyptus woodland, and the gentle undulations typical of the Goldfields region.

Life in Percydale revolves around farming and the wide-open spaces of central Victoria. Residents rely on the nearby township of Dunolly for services, schools, and supplies, while Bendigo — around 70 kilometres to the east — provides access to major retail, healthcare, and employment. The area appeals to those seeking a quiet, rural lifestyle with a connection to Victoria's storied goldfields heritage.

Percydale falls under postcode 3478 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ripon (Western Victoria) electorate.
