About Woorinen
Woorinen is a small locality in the Rural City of Swan Hill, situated approximately 12 kilometres north-west of Swan Hill in north-west Victoria's irrigation district, around 340 kilometres from Melbourne. With a 2021 Census population of 262 residents across 13 square kilometres, Woorinen sits within a productive agricultural zone fed by the waters of the Murray River system, with a long history tied to irrigation farming and the agricultural development of the Mallee region.
The area is part of the broader Swan Hill irrigation district, known for viticulture, horticulture, and broad-acre cropping that defines much of the region's rural economy. Residents rely on Swan Hill for most services, including shopping centres, health facilities, and secondary education, as the locality itself has minimal infrastructure. Woorinen offers a true farming community experience, appealing to those engaged in or connected to agriculture, with the Murray River and its river red gum forests providing a peaceful natural backdrop.
Woorinen falls under postcode 3589 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray Plains (Northern Victoria) electorate.
