Overview

Mount Moriac sits beneath a 270‑metre extinct volcano that gives the locality its name and a striking backdrop to a quiet, farming‑rooted lifestyle. The historic Mount Moriac Hotel, St Patrick’s Catholic church and a small cemetery remain alongside the Mount Moriac Reserve, which offers two ovals, netball and tennis courts, a pavilion and a pony club for families and sport enthusiasts. In the 2016 Census the district recorded 240 residents.

Transport links developed when the Geelong‑to‑Colac railway reached nearby Moriac in 1877, prompting a new township around the station while the original Mount Moriac settlement retained its rural charm. Residents enjoy reliable FM radio from Melbourne and Geelong and television from Melbourne transmitters, with occasional Ballarat signals in elevated spots. The housing mix reflects this evolution, ranging from 19th‑century farmsteads to newer homes that have grown around the historic railway hub.
