About Boola

Boola is a quiet rural locality in the Latrobe Valley region of Gippsland, Victoria, situated approximately 170 km east of Melbourne. Covering around 68.5 square kilometres of mostly forested land, the area falls within the Narracan electoral district and is characterised by open farmland and remnant bushland typical of the South Gippsland foothills. With negligible permanent population recorded at the 2021 Census, Boola functions primarily as a farming and grazing locality rather than a conventional residential area.

Life in Boola revolves around the agricultural traditions of inland Gippsland, with residents typically commuting to nearby towns such as Moe or Trafalgar for everyday needs. The surrounding region offers access to the Strzelecki Ranges and Tarra-Bulga National Park, making it appealing to those who value a remote, bush-oriented lifestyle. The local landscape is dominated by rolling hills, remnant eucalypt forest, and pastoral properties that have formed the backbone of this community for generations.

Boola falls under postcode 3825 and is governed by the Baw Baw Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Monash, while state elections fall under the Narracan (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
