Hesse is a rural locality in the Golden Plains Shire, Victoria, Australia.[1] In the 2011 census, the population of Hesse was too low to separately report; however in June 2014 the Victorian Electoral Commission recorded 12 enrolled voters in Hesse, living in 7 properties.[2][3]
Hesse covers an area of rural farmland along the Hamilton Highway between the towns of Cressy and Inverleigh. The Western standard gauge line runs through the locality; while Hesse never had a station, the former station at Wingeel was close to the Hesse boundary. Wentworths Road, which runs north/north-west in the direction of Shelford, is the only other significant road in the locality. The Warrambine and Mia Mia Creeks also run through Hesse.[4]
Warrambine Post Office opened on 16 January 1871, was renamed Hesse Post Office on 14 February 1871, and closed on 1 July 1899.[5] A postal receiving office opened at Hesse in 1903, and a second Hesse Post Office was opened on 17 February 1914; it became a receiving office again on 1 August 1914, a post office again on 1 July 1927, and closed on 31 January 1966.[6]
The Barunah Plains Homestead is located at Hesse.[7][8][9]
