About Tyaak
Tyaak is a small rural locality in the Shire of Mitchell in central Victoria, situated approximately 99 kilometres north of Melbourne. With a 2021 census population of 85 residents across 12 square kilometres, it is a quiet farming hamlet set in the pastoral country between Seymour and the Hume Freeway corridor. The area is part of Mitchell Shire, one of Victoria's growing outer-regional municipalities, though Tyaak itself retains a distinctly agricultural character.
The surrounding landscape is typical of central Victoria's northern slopes, with cleared grazing land used predominantly for beef cattle, sheep, and mixed cropping. The nearby township of Broadford, approximately 15 kilometres to the south-west, provides residents with primary services including a supermarket, schools, and medical facilities. Seymour, around 25 kilometres to the north, is the main regional centre offering a broader range of services, shops, and the Seymour railway station on the Albury–Wodonga V/Line corridor.
Tyaak falls under postcode 3658 and is governed by the Mitchell Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Nicholls, while state elections fall under the Yan Yean (Northern Victoria) electorate.
