Overview

Willaura sits 231 km west of Melbourne in the Rural City of Ararat and recorded 439 residents in the 2021 census. The town enjoys a temperate climate with warm, occasionally very hot, summers averaging a high of 28 °C and cool winters with frequent frosts, while 550 mm of annual rainfall falls mainly in winter and spring, creating a fertile backdrop for its longstanding wheat and grain farming heritage.

Residents benefit from a close‑knit community centred around local sport – the Moyston‑Willaura Pumas compete in the Mininera & District Football League and the Willaura Golf Club offers a golf course. Although the railway arrived in 1877 and the former Wickliffe Road station was renamed Willaura in 1905, today the town’s housing reflects its historic subdivision of town blocks and surrounding small farms, providing a blend of a variety of homes and agricultural properties.
