About Gherang
Gherang is a quiet rural locality in Victoria's Surf Coast hinterland, situated approximately 15 kilometres south-east of Winchelsea within the Surf Coast Shire. Covering around 28.6 square kilometres of undulating farmland and native bushland, the locality supports a 2021 Census population of 391 across a small number of rural residential holdings. The area falls within the federal electorate of Corangamite and sits between the Barrabool Hills to the north and the broader Surf Coast region stretching south towards the Great Ocean Road.
The surrounding landscape is characterised by open pasture, native bushland, and hobby farms typical of Victoria's Surf Coast hinterland, with a rural character that stands in pleasant contrast to the popular coastal towns nearby. Residents travel to Winchelsea or Moriac for everyday needs, while the surf beaches of Anglesea and Torquay are within a 25 to 30 kilometre drive. Gherang's proximity to the Great Ocean Road corridor makes it an appealing destination for those seeking a rural retreat with easy access to one of Australia's most celebrated coastal regions.
Gherang falls under postcode 3240 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the South Barwon (Western Victoria) electorate.
