About Sherbrooke
Sherbrooke is a small residential locality nestled within the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria's outer east, approximately 45 kilometres east of Melbourne within the Yarra Ranges local government area. Covering just 6.7 square kilometres, the locality is surrounded by the towering Mountain Ash forests of the Dandenong Ranges National Park and had a population of approximately 274 residents at the 2021 Census. Sherbrooke's tiny resident population reflects its largely forested character, with the national park forming an integral part of the landscape that defines life here.
Sherbrooke is renowned for its exceptional natural environment, including the popular Sherbrooke Falls Loop walking trail, which winds through magnificent Mountain Ash forest and ferny gullies — home to the iconic Superb Lyrebird, often heard mimicking other birds and forest sounds. The area forms part of the broader Dandenong Ranges tourism precinct, with the nearby township of Belgrave and the tourist railway Puffing Billy providing additional attractions. Residents enjoy a deeply immersive bushland lifestyle, with Belgrave offering essential shops, schooling, and the Belgrave railway station with connections to Melbourne's metropolitan network.
Sherbrooke falls under postcode 3789 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Monbulk (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
