Colignan, Victoria

Colignan is a town on the banks of the Murray River, in North Western Victoria, Australia.

[2] A Post Office opened on August 22, 1922, marking the beginning of postal services to the area.

[3] In common with many other soldier settlement areas the blocks provided were too small to be viable and most original settlers had left by the mid-1930s and were replaced by a later generation using irrigation.

The economy of the town is based on primary industry, mostly citrus and grape growing.

The rich soil and the proximity to the Murray River have allowed farming of a diverse range of crops.
