About Myall (Buloke - Vic.)

Myall is a sparsely populated rural locality in the Buloke Shire of north-western Victoria, situated in the Mallee region near the South Australian border. Covering approximately 87 square kilometres of flat, semi-arid farmland, the area is typical of the Mallee — characterised by wide horizons, cereal cropping, and a deeply rural way of life. The 2021 Census recorded just 17 residents, reflecting the locality's extremely low settlement density.

The surrounding Mallee landscape defines life in Myall, where agriculture — predominantly wheat and canola farming — is the primary occupation. Residents rely on nearby small towns for services and supplies, with the Murray Plains region offering a tight-knit rural community. The locality falls within the federal electorate of Mallee, and the state electorate of Murray Plains, both strongly tied to agricultural and regional interests.

Myall (Buloke - Vic.) falls under postcode 3533 and is governed by the Buloke Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Mallee, while state elections fall under the Murray Plains (Northern Victoria) electorate.
