About Tooborac
Tooborac is a small rural locality in the north of Mitchell Shire, Victoria, set against the dramatic backdrop of the McIvor Ranges approximately 100 kilometres north of Melbourne. Situated at the southern entrance to the renowned Heathcote Wine Region, the locality covers a large area of about 168 square kilometres of scenic granite boulder country and pastoral land. With a population of 319, Tooborac has seen modest growth and draws a mix of long-term farming families and lifestyle seekers attracted to its rural character and food and wine reputation.
Tooborac is increasingly recognised as a boutique food and wine destination, home to the heritage-listed Tooborac Hotel and Brewery — a storied establishment built in 1857 that once served gold rush travellers. The Lancefield-Tooborac Road corridor hosts several cellar doors and vineyards including McIvor Estate and Merindoc Vintners, while the local general store offers a popular café for visitors and residents alike. Its position along the route to Bendigo and Heathcote makes it a favoured stopover, and the McIvor Ranges provide a striking natural setting for a quiet country lifestyle.
Tooborac falls under postcode 3522 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Euroa (Northern Victoria) electorate.
