Overview

Nestled at the foot of the 380‑metre Mount Elephant, Derrinallum sits on the Hamilton Highway within the Corangamite Shire, offering easy road links to neighbouring towns. The town grew around a farming community and retains a distinctive post‑war architectural character after much of the original settlement was rebuilt following the 1944 bushfire. Though the railway arrived in 1913, today the highway remains the primary transport corridor for residents and visitors alike.

Life in Derrinallum centres on a range of local services, including a FoodWorks supermarket with hardware and nursery sections, a post office, a pub, a motel, a library and a café, plus specialist shops such as mechanics and a rural supplies business. The town hosts a seasonal country farmer’s market each October‑March and provides easy access to nearby Deep Lake and Lake Ettrick for sport and recreation. Community hubs like the DISC centre, the war memorial and the shared Lismore‑Derrinallum football team foster a close‑knit, active lifestyle for families and retirees.
