About Bangerang

Bangerang is a sparsely settled rural locality in the Wimmera region of north-western Victoria, situated approximately 350 kilometres north-west of Melbourne near the town of Warracknabeal. The locality covers around 187 square kilometres of flat to gently undulating dryland farming country.

Warracknabeal, approximately 20 kilometres to the north-west, serves as the main service centre for the district, offering a hospital, schools, supermarkets, and community facilities. The surrounding countryside follows the typical character of the Victorian Wimmera — wide flat paddocks, mallee scrub remnants, and vast skies.
