Boonah is a rural locality in the Surf Coast Shire, Victoria, Australia.[1] 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.[2][3]
The locality was the base for various sawmilling operations from the 1880s.[4]
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.[5] The Boonah State School opened in the late 1800s; its date of closure is unknown.[6]
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.
