About Walkerville
Walkerville is a small coastal locality on the South Gippsland coast of Victoria, situated approximately 180 kilometres south-east of Melbourne near the shores of Corner Inlet and the Shallow Inlet Marine and Coastal Park. With a 2021 Census population of 130 residents across about 39 square kilometres, it is a secluded community that draws both permanent residents and holiday-makers seeking coastal seclusion. The area falls within the South Gippsland Shire and lies in the federal electorate of Monash.
The locality is prized for its coastal bushland setting, sheltered inlets, and proximity to Corner Inlet Marine National Park, making it a destination for birdwatchers, kayakers, and those seeking quiet beachside getaways. The nearest service town is Foster, roughly 20 kilometres to the north, where residents access shops, a hospital, and schools. With no public transport, a car is essential, but the reward is access to some of South Gippsland's most unspoilt coastal scenery.
Walkerville 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.
