About Warrock

Warrock is a tiny rural locality in far south-western Victoria, situated within the Glenelg Shire approximately 20 kilometres north-west of Casterton. With a population of just 46 residents spread across a large 83 square kilometre area, Warrock is sparsely settled farming country on the western Victorian plains, characterised by open cropping land and sheep and cattle grazing properties. The locality has deep pastoral heritage, with the historic Warrock Station homestead recognised as one of Victoria's most significant 19th-century pastoral properties.

Life in Warrock is quintessentially rural, with residents relying on Casterton for all everyday services including schools, shopping, and medical care. The nearby Glenelg River provides outdoor recreation for those who appreciate the natural western Victorian landscape, and the region is well known for its kelpie cattle dog heritage — Casterton hosts the annual Kelpie Muster and Working Dog Auction. The surrounding district retains a strong agricultural community spirit, with wool, beef, and cereal cropping underpinning the local economy.

Warrock falls under postcode 3312 and is governed by the Glenelg Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Wannon, while state elections fall under the Lowan (Western Victoria) electorate.
