About Myrtle Creek

Myrtle Creek is a small rural locality in central Victoria, within the Greater Bendigo local government area and sharing postcode 3444 with the broader Kyneton district. The locality sits in rolling farming country north of the Macedon Ranges, approximately 25 kilometres south-west of Bendigo, in a landscape of mixed grazing, cropping, and rural residential properties. The area is sparsely populated, reflecting the dispersed rural settlement pattern characteristic of this part of central Victoria.

The broader region encompasses the productive farming country of the Campaspe valley and the rural corridors connecting Bendigo, Kyneton, and Castlemaine. Kyneton, approximately 20 kilometres to the south, is a significant service centre with its renowned Piper Street dining precinct, heritage streetscapes, and excellent rail connections to Melbourne via the Bendigo Line. The Macedon Ranges and surrounding farmland attract a growing number of tree-changers from Melbourne, drawn by the region's scenic quality and accessible commutes.
