About Tetoora Road

Tetoora Road is a small rural locality in West Gippsland, Victoria, situated in the Baw Baw Shire approximately 15 kilometres south of Warragul in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges. The locality covers 8.5 square kilometres of hilly farming country and takes its name from the road that was formally opened in 1915 to service early settlers in the area. According to the 2021 Census, Tetoora Road has a population of 93 residents across 34 dwellings, reflecting its character as a quiet rural enclave rather than a village or service centre.

The surrounding landscape is defined by rolling green hills, small farms, and the rugged backdrop of the Strzelecki Ranges, offering scenic views across West Gippsland. A community centre provides a local gathering point for residents, and the area has a small oral history that documents the hardships and achievements of its early farming families. Warragul, the nearest major centre, provides all essential services including schools, supermarkets, and the Baw Baw Health and Community Services hub, and is also served by V/Line trains on the Gippsland Line. A private vehicle is necessary for daily life in Tetoora Road, given the lack of public transport serving the locality directly.
