About Walkerville North
Walkerville North is a tiny coastal locality on the southern Gippsland coast of Victoria, situated on the Waratah Bay Peninsula near the western approach to Wilsons Promontory. With a permanent population of just five residents recorded in the 2021 Census, it is one of Victoria's smallest localities by population, though it forms part of a broader coastal community alongside the adjacent hamlet of Walkerville. The locality sits within the South Gippsland Shire and is characterised by dramatic coastal cliffs, sandy beaches, and native bushland.
Walkerville North and its surrounds are a popular destination for holiday-makers and weekenders drawn to the spectacular scenery of Waratah Bay, with excellent fishing, swimming, and bushwalking opportunities. The area is largely holiday home territory, with permanent residents living a quiet, self-sufficient lifestyle surrounded by coastal bush. Nearby Fish Creek and Foster provide local services, while the iconic Wilsons Promontory National Park is accessible within an hour's drive, making this one of the most scenic corners of coastal Victoria.
Walkerville North falls under postcode 3956 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gippsland South (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
