This site is your gateway to the Yarriambiack Shire. Yarriambiack Shire Council was formed on 19 January 1995 by the amalgamation of the former Shires of Karkarooc and Warracknabeal, most of the Shire of Dunmunkle and part of the Shire of Wimmera. It has an area of 7158 square kilometres and has a population of 7520 (2006 Census). Of the population, almost half the workforce is employed in agriculture. Yarriambiack Shire is the heartland of grain production and handling in the Victorian Wimmera and Mallee. In these areas dry-land farming produces one quarter of Victoria's total production of wheat and barley, and is noted for its lambs and wool. Legume and oilseed crops are very important and alternative livestock enterprises are also well established.
