BOONAH
Boonah is a rural locality in the Surf Coast Shire, Victoria, Australia. In the 2011 census, the population of Boonah was too low to separately report; however in June 2014 the Victorian Electoral Commission recorded 12 enrolled voters in Boonah, living in 11 properties.
The locality was the base for various sawmilling operations from the 1880s. Boonah Post Office opened on 24 November 1887, became a receiving office on 21 August 1919, became a post office again on 1 July 1927, and closed on 26 September 1929. The Boonah State School opened in the late 1800s; its date of closure is unknown.
Today, most of the locality is protected forest contained in either the Great Otway National Park or the Otway Forest Park; the remainder, located in Boonah's north, is private farmland. The Bambra-Boonah Road, which runs through the latter area, is the only mapped road in the locality.
