Bambra is a locality in the Surf Coast Shire, Victoria, Australia.

[3] The locality was initially named "Retreat", but was later renamed Bambra after an Aboriginal word for mushroom.

[6] The area has predominantly been used for agricultural, pastoral and dairying purposes; however, a coal mine in adjacent Winchelsea South, sometimes referred to as the Bambra mine, was active from 1921 until between 1928 and 1931, and from 1943 to 1957.

[3] Since 2013, the area has been home to the Meadow Music Festival every March featuring various alternative and indie musicians at the Otway Hinterlands Meadow.

[7][8][9] The locality still has a public hall, cemetery and a Hare Krishna retreat.
