This website provides information for both visitors, and the residents of the community.
Woodvale is a rural community located in central Victoria, approximately 14Km north of the city of Bendigo, and 6Km from Eaglehawk which is the nearest business and shopping town that supports the district. Woodvale is near the Whipstick State Forest, and as such is an idyllic location, with a rich history dating from the gold rush era.
We are only a relatively small population, being principally a farming and rural community. Woodvale has very good facilities supporting visitors and the residents, such as a recreation reserve , sports oval, cricket facilities, tennis club & courts, gun club , in addition to a very well equipped public hall which is available for hire (See Amenities).
Woodvale is an excellent launching point for bush walking in the Whipstick State Forest, which is equipped with a number of walking tracks, picnic and BBQ areas, in addition to supporting the region with it's facilities, some of which can be hired for private functions. (Proceeds to the Woodvale Hall Committee).
This site will also provide: Event, News, Calendar, and Directory information to support the community, in addition to links to other useful sites such as emergency information, bushfire, local weather, timetable information, etc.
Welcome, and thank you for visiting our site, browse and enjoy.....
