Loch Village

Welcome

Approximately 100 km southeast from Melbourne and located at the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges you will find the charming villages of Loch, Poowong, Bena, Kernot and Nyora. The perfect place to base your getaway while exploring the many wonderful attractions and artisans our region has to offer.

We appreciate the hard work our pioneers undertook to establish our region, and our dedicated locals for preserving and enhancing our villages, from volunteering to establishing businesses, we thank you all for supporting these local initiatives.

We acknowledge the Bunurong people, the traditional owners of this land and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

This website is a guide for both visitors and the community living in this beautiful part of the world.
