Overview

Maffra sits 220 km east of Melbourne in the Wellington Shire, with a 2016 census population of 4,316. The town is a short detour off the Princes Highway and, although regular passenger rail services ended in 1977, the former railway precinct now hosts industrial use and community facilities. Main‑street amenities include the post office, fire and police stations, a National Australia Bank branch and easy access to nearby Victoria Park and Macalister River Park. Residents enjoy a lively calendar featuring a March Mardi Gras, the October agricultural show, an Easter tennis tournament and a range of sports clubs, from Australian Rules football to golf, hockey and basketball.

Education is well‑served with Maffra Primary, St Mary’s Primary and Maffra Secondary College (≈700 students). Recent tree‑planting of young oaks has refreshed the streetscape, while attractions such as The Berry Dairy add agritourism flair. The blend of historic homes and newer developments offers a variety of housing options for families and retirees alike.
