Overview

Shepherds Flat is a quiet locality in central Victoria’s Shire of Hepburn, situated 122 km north‑west of Melbourne. With a 2016 census population of just 66, the area offers a spread‑out, semi‑rural lifestyle framed by the nearby Frying Pan Hill and the historic Jim Crow Creek gold‑mining diversion sluice. The lack of a town centre gives residents generous space for hobby farms, country homes and open‑air recreation while still feeling linked to the surrounding countryside.

The main transport link is the Hepburn‑Newstead Road, which runs between the villages of Hepburn and Franklinford and provides straightforward access to regional services. Housing is chiefly low‑density, detached dwellings set on larger blocks, reflecting the locality’s modest population and its appeal to those seeking a peaceful, spacious environment.
