Teesdale is a town in the Golden Plains Shire, 34km west the regional city of Geelong between Bannockburn and Shelford.
The town has become a place for both high net worth residents seeking a country lifestyle, and young homebuyers who are prepared to commute to Melbourne or Geelong for work.
A feature of the town is a large park to the north of the main road known to the locals as 'Turtle Bend', featuring playgrounds, bike tracks, walking trails, BBQ areas, and a community building with a steel roof in the shape of a turtle.
Teesdale General Store and Post Office is one of the oldest in the area, having opened on 8 March 1864.
