About Toolondo

Toolondo is a large rural locality in the Wimmera region of western Victoria, situated approximately 40 kilometres west of Horsham within the Horsham Rural City. Covering around 183 square kilometres, it is a sparsely populated farming district on the flat to gently undulating plains of the western Wimmera. The locality is home to the Toolondo Reservoir, an important water storage for the regional irrigation and stock supply system.

Toolondo is devoted to broadacre cereal cropping and sheep grazing on the grey clay soils of the Wimmera. The Toolondo Reservoir attracts anglers seeking redfin, yellow belly, and trout, and is a local recreation spot. There are no local services — residents travel to Horsham (40 km) or Natimuk for shopping and facilities. The locality offers wide-open landscapes, spectacular sunsets, and a quiet pastoral lifestyle for those committed to farming in the productive but drought-prone Wimmera region.

Toolondo falls under postcode 3401 and is governed by the Horsham Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Wannon, while state elections fall under the Lowan (Western Victoria) electorate.
