About Mitre
Mitre is a small rural locality in the Wimmera region of north-western Victoria, situated approximately 35 kilometres west of Horsham within the Hindmarsh Shire. Covering around 138 square kilometres of flat agricultural land, Mitre is a typical Wimmera wheat and sheep farming community set among vast open paddocks under wide open skies. With a 2021 Census population of 66 residents, it is a quintessentially remote inland farming locality.
The Wimmera is one of Australia's most productive grain-growing regions, and Mitre reflects this with large-scale cropping and livestock operations dominating the landscape. The locality is close to the Little Desert National Park to the south, offering walking tracks and wildlife watching in a distinctive mallee and heath environment. Horsham, the major regional centre of the Wimmera, provides a full range of urban services including hospitals, schools, shopping, and cultural facilities.
Mitre falls under postcode 3401 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lowan (Western Victoria) electorate.
