About Boho
Boho is a small rural locality in the Strathbogie Shire of north-central Victoria, situated approximately 150 kilometres north-northeast of Melbourne and just a few kilometres from the small township of Violet Town. Covering around 86 square kilometres of farming country and granite foothills at the edge of the Strathbogie Ranges, the locality has a population of 88 residents according to the 2021 Census. Settlement in the area began in the 1870s as selectors took up land from former pastoral runs, and over time grazing for meat and wool became the dominant land use. The predominant age group in Boho skews toward older residents, reflecting the broader demographic trends of rural Victoria.
Boho is quintessential north-central Victorian farming country, characterised by open paddocks, granite outcrops, and state forest on the fringes. The locality takes its name from a village in County Fermanagh, Ireland, reflecting the heritage of early Irish settlers in the district. Residents rely on Violet Town for everyday essentials and Euroa — about 19 kilometres to the south — for a broader range of services, shopping, and schooling. The Hume Freeway runs through the broader region, providing a connection to Melbourne and Albury, though a private vehicle is essential for daily life here.
Boho falls under postcode 3669 and is governed by the Strathbogie Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Nicholls, while state elections fall under the Euroa (Northern Victoria) electorate.
