Overview

Deans Marsh lies 23 km inland from Lorne in Victoria and recorded 269 residents in the 2016 census. The town’s relaxed rural lifestyle is supported by a central Store offering provisions, local produce, a café and regional wines. Situated on the Otway Harvest Trail, it is close to the Pennyroyal Raspberry Farm, Gentle Annie Berry Gardens and three boutique wineries – Blakes Estate, Alt Road and Heroes Vineyard. The Community Cottage hosts health classes, workshops, a monthly dinner and the annual Deans Marsh Festival.

The historic Forrest railway reached Deans Marsh in 1889 and closed in 1957, yet the town remains accessible via local roads and lies 1.5 km from Deans Marsh Primary School. The area features a mix of farming properties, including the regenerative‑agriculture‑focused Yan Yan Gurt West sheep farm with its 1880s woolshed, alongside heritage residential homes. A nearby weather station (operational 1906‑1910) highlights the community’s long agricultural ties.
