About Coral Bank

Coral Bank is a small rural locality in the Alpine Shire of northeastern Victoria, situated along the Kiewa Valley Highway approximately 18 kilometres south of Corryong and within the broader Upper Murray region. The locality covers around 19 square kilometres and had a population of 83 residents at the 2021 Census, spread across 33 private dwellings. Nestled in the Kiewa Valley near the confluence of the upper Murray catchment, the area is characterised by river flats, alluvial farming land, and scenic mountain backdrops typical of the Victorian Alps foothills. The postcode 3691 is shared with Wodonga and several other localities in the region.

The Kiewa Valley Highway runs through Coral Bank, providing the main transport link to Corryong to the north and Tallangatta and Wodonga to the south.

Residents travel to Corryong for day-to-day needs and to Wodonga or Albury-Wodonga for a wider range of services, schools, and retail. The broader Alpine Shire region is popular with visitors seeking nature-based experiences, with Victoria's High Country offering walking, cycling, and fishing opportunities nearby.
