It lies 28.4 km west-north-west of Bacchus Marsh, VIC (from Bacchus Marsh, VIC: bearing 303°T), and is situated 8.2 km north-north-west of Ballan. The land here is a patchwork of muted greens and ochres, divided by the straight lines of fences that march across the terrain. The air, especially in the late afternoon, carries a dry, sweet scent of sun-baked earth and eucalypt, a fragrance that seems to settle into the very fibres of the place. Sheep graze in scattered mobs, their white forms stark against the varying shades of pasture, and the occasional cluster of pines stands sentinel against the wide, often brilliant, sky.
The history of Bunding is tied to the land’s capacity for sustenance, a story etched in the rise and fall of agricultural fortunes. Early settlers, drawn by the promise of fertile ground, established farms and grazing properties that continue to define the local economy, with wool and prime lamb forming the backbone of its rural enterprise. While the grander mining booms of other regions bypassed Bunding, its enduring character is built on the quieter, persistent labour of farming families who have worked this soil for generations. The rhythm of life here is dictated by the seasons and the demands of livestock, a steady, unhurried pulse that allows for a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.
