About She Oaks

She Oaks is a small rural locality in the Golden Plains Shire of Victoria, situated approximately 97 kilometres west of Melbourne and 38 kilometres north of Geelong. Named after the distinctive she-oak trees (Casuarinaceae) that grow in the area, the locality covers around 22 square kilometres of open farming country. With a population of approximately 126 residents and a median income around 1,000, it reflects the agricultural character of the Golden Plains district.

The locality has a quiet historical character, having supported a post office from 1916 to 1953 as well as a school and Presbyterian church, though both have long since closed.
