It lies 80.0 km north-east of Traralgon, VIC (from Traralgon, VIC: bearing 36°T), and is situated 21.3 km north of Briagolong. The landscape here is a study in understated resilience, a mosaic of well-managed pastures and stands of hardy eucalypts, their grey-green foliage whispering secrets on the breeze. The air, particularly in the late afternoon, carries a faint, dry scent of dust and sun-warmed grass, a perfume unique to these Gippsland plains. Farmhouses, their corrugated iron roofs often a faded terracotta, dot the horizon, each a small, sturdy bastion against the vastness, their gardens a defiant splash of colour against the muted tones of the land.
The story of Toolome is etched not in grand monuments but in the quiet perseverance of its people and the land they cultivate. For generations, this has been country for the grazier, the sheep and cattle finding sustenance in the rich, volcanic soil. The local economy, though modest, is deeply rooted in the agricultural heartland, with wool and prime beef forming the backbone of its prosperity. While larger centres might boast bustling marketplaces, Toolome’s rhythm is dictated by the seasons and the steady hum of farm machinery. A distinctive feature of Toolome is its enduring sense of community, a place where neighbours still lend a hand and the handshake holds a weight of trust, a quiet legacy passed down from the pioneers who first tamed this fertile stretch of Victoria.
