Lalbert

Lalbert was named in 1863 by Major Mitchell, and comes from the Aboriginal name for creeper that grows on Mallee trees.

Lalbert is in the heart of the Mallee wheat growing area, which is renowned for its crops of wheat, barley, oats, canola and legumes. The golden grains of this Mallee town supply feed to the dairy industry and provide quality grains for the milling industry and export markets.

Situated 60kms west of Kerang, Lalbert is a Mallee town with a strong sense of community. The town features a general store, hotel, school, hall and recreation reserve, and is a major grain receiving centre.

Lake Lalbert, only 2kms from town, is a flood-filled lake and a significant environmental showpiece when in flood.
