Overview

Nestled in Victoria’s productive Western District, Simpson sits roughly midway between Colac and the coastal resort of Port Campbell, just 20 km south of Cobden. With a 2016 census population of 569, the town serves over 400 dairying farms and offers a primary school, a historic park beside a natural dam that showcases the Heytesbury Settlement’s clearing equipment, as well as essential services such as a post office and fire station. Community life is buoyed by an Australian Rules football team competing in the Colac & District Football League, providing locals with regular sport and social gatherings.

The settlement is linked by the sealed road that began as a five‑mile gravel stretch from Scotts Creek‑Colac Road, giving easy access to neighbouring towns. While most residents live in farm‑steading properties surrounding the town centre, a modest range of town‑based homes accommodates families and retirees alike. Secondary students are bused to nearby schools in Cobden, Timboon, Camperdown and Mercy Regional College, ensuring broader educational options within a short commute.
