About Culgoa
Culgoa is a town in the Mallee region of north-west Victoria, about 319 kilometres from Melbourne. Primary production is predominantly wheat and barley, along with some legume and oil crops. The post office opened in 1893 as Kaneira, shortly after the arrival of the railway, and was renamed Culgoa in 1920. In 2003 the community formed a co-operative and purchased the local store when it faced closure; the community-owned store now also houses the post office. The primary school closed in 2008 after 98 years of service to the area.
