Loddon Shire

Loddon Shire (1995) is situated at its centre about 180 km north-west of Melbourne and 50 km north-west of Bendigo. It is reached by the Calder and Loddon Valley Highways, which both run out of Bendigo. There are also railways, roughly parallel to the highways. The Calder Highway passes through Wedderburn, the administrative centre of the shire, 200 km from Melbourne.
