About Brimboal

Brimboal is a sparsely populated rural locality in Victoria's Western District, situated within the Southern Grampians Shire approximately 35 kilometres north-east of Portland and 15 kilometres south-east of Casterton. With a population of just 11 at the 2021 Census across 27 square kilometres, Brimboal is one of Victoria's most isolated and lightly settled localities. The landscape is dominated by pastoral farmland and native vegetation typical of the volcanic plains and low ranges of south-west Victoria.

Brimboal is pure farming country, attracting those committed to an agricultural lifestyle far from urban centres. The nearest services are in Casterton and Heywood, with Hamilton offering a more complete regional centre about 60 kilometres to the north. The area experiences cool winters and mild summers, with the volcanic soils supporting sheep and cattle grazing. The Southern Grampians Shire is known for its wide open spaces, community agricultural shows and the slower rhythms of life that define deep-rural Victoria.

Brimboal falls under postcode 3312 and is governed by the Glenelg Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Wannon, while state elections fall under the Lowan (Western Victoria) electorate.
