Anakie, VIC 3213
Overview
Anakie sits midway between Geelong and Bacchus Marsh in Victoria, offering a quiet rural lifestyle for its 734 residents (2021 census). The name, thought to mean “little hill” or “twin hills,” reflects the surrounding Brisbane Ranges National Park, where three hills called The Anakies and Mount Anakie provide easy access to bushwalking and scenic views. Farming and vineyards dominate the local economy, while Fairy Park, a fairytale‑themed attraction overlooking the township, adds a family‑friendly leisure option.
Community spirit is evident through the Anakie Football Club, which competes in the Geelong & District Football League, and a mix of farm‑style properties and modest homes that cater to both agricultural families and those seeking a country retreat. With 79 % of residents born in Australia and 88 % speaking only English at home, the town benefits from strong local ties and convenient road connections to the larger centers of Geelong and Bacchus Marsh.
