About Wallacedale
Wallacedale is a remote rural locality in the Glenelg Shire, situated in the far south-west of Victoria approximately 55 kilometres north of Portland and roughly 330 kilometres west of Melbourne. Covering approximately 54 square kilometres of open pastoral country, the locality recorded a population of just 94 residents at the 2021 Census. The landscape is characteristic of Victoria's Western District, with flat to gently undulating volcanic plains used predominantly for grazing sheep and cattle. Wallacedale falls within the Glenelg Shire local government area, which administers much of south-western Victoria including the coastal city of Portland.
The broader Glenelg Shire region is known for its timber production, dairy and beef farming, and the deep-water port of Portland on the Southern Ocean coastline. Hamilton, approximately 65 kilometres to the north-east, is the region's main service hub, offering hospitals, secondary schools, retail, and V/Line coach connections. The nearest town, Casterton, provides basic services for surrounding rural communities. Wallacedale is entirely car-dependent, with no public transport infrastructure, and appeals to farming families and those committed to the quiet rhythms of remote pastoral life in Victoria's south-west.
Wallacedale falls under postcode 3303 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the South-West Coast (Western Victoria) electorate.
