The locality covers approximately 46 square kilometres of flat mallee and farming country in the Mallee region, around 276 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. The 2021 census recorded a population of just 6 residents, making it one of Victoria's most sparsely populated localities. The surrounding agricultural land is predominantly used for dryland grain farming and livestock grazing.
Life in Wycheproof South is quintessentially rural, with residents relying on the adjacent Wycheproof township for services including shops, schools, and the local hospital. The nearby Wycheproof is famous for Mount Wycheproof, recognised as the world's smallest registered mountain at just 43 metres above the surrounding plains. The Calder Highway passes through Wycheproof, connecting the region to Bendigo and Melbourne. This locality appeals to those engaged in broadacre farming and those who appreciate the quiet solitude of the Victorian Mallee.
