Sandford, Victoria

Sandford (/ˈsændfərd/)[1] is a bounded rural locality of the Shire of Glenelg local government area, Victoria, Australia south of Casterton.

[2] Sandford was settled due to its location on the Wannon River, allowing easy access to fresh water.

Sandford Post Office opened on 12 May 1862 and closed in 1978.

The formally recognised traditional owners for the area in which Sandford sits are the Gunditjmara People[4] who are represented by the Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation.

2018 is held on the Labour Day Weekend in March and includes Folk, Bluegrass, Aussie Country, Gospel and Celtic music as well as bush dance concerts, poet's breakfasts, jam sessions, walk-ups and workshops.
