About Turriff East
Turriff East is a small rural locality in the far northwest of Victoria, situated approximately 30 kilometres west of Ouyen in the Mildura Rural City Council area. Covering around 48 square kilometres, it is a very sparsely populated district in the dry Mallee country of Victoria's semi-arid northwest. The flat landscape of sandy soils and mallee scrub is typical of this part of the Murray-Mallee region.
Turriff East is a dryland farming area where broadacre cereal crops and sheep are the main agricultural pursuits on the light sandy soils. The landscape features patches of remnant mallee eucalypt scrub interspersed with cleared farmland. There are no local facilities — Ouyen (30 km) provides the nearest shops, school, and medical services. The Mallee region offers a stark, beautiful landscape under wide skies, appealing to those who embrace the quiet solitude of remote inland Australia.
Turriff East falls under postcode 3488 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mildura (Northern Victoria) electorate.
