List Of Localities In Victoria (Australia)
This is a list of locality names and populated place names in the state of Victoria, Australia, outside the Melbourne metropolitan area. It is organised by region from the south-west of the state to the east and, for convenience, is sectioned by Local Government Area (LGA).
Localities are bounded areas as recognised by the Registrar of Geographic Names acting under the Geographic Place Names Act (1998), although boundaries are the responsibility of each council. Many localities overlap LGA boundaries, some being partly within three LGAs, but are listed here once under the LGA in which the major population centre or area occurs. Detailed maps showing locality boundaries within a LGA are available on the Land Victoria website.

Famous quotes containing the words list and/or victoria:
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“Sometimes my wife complains that she’s overwhelmed with work and just can’t take one of the kids, for example, to a piano lesson. I’ll offer to do it for her, and then she’ll say, “No, I’ll do it.” We have to negotiate how much I trespass into that mother role—it’s not given up easily.”
—Anonymous Father. As quoted in Women and Their Fathers, by Victoria Secunda, ch. 3 (1992)
