Aubrey, Victoria

Aubrey is a locality west of Warracknabeal in Victoria.

History

One of the earliest settlers in Aubrey was Mr. F. Rodda. He came from South Australia and purchased land in Aubrey in 1892. Water was a particular problem to the early farmers as they depended entirely on catchment by tanks. When that water ran out, it needed to be carted from a shire dam over eight kilometres away, and after the dam went dry, water needed to be sourced from 14 km away.
The Australasian describes the locality in August 1915:
The locality had a local hall which was in the locality since at least 1905.
