This is a list of locality names and populated place names in the state of Victoria, Australia, outside the Melbourne metropolitan area. It is organised by region from the south-west of the state to the east and, for convenience, is sectioned by Local Government Area (LGA). Localities are bounded areas as recognised by the Registrar of Geographic Names acting under the Geographic Place Names Act (1998), although boundaries are the responsibility of each council. Many localities overlap LGA boundaries, some being partly within three LGAs, but are listed here once under the LGA in which the major population centre or area occurs. Detailed maps showing locality boundaries within a LGA are available on the Land Victoria website.〔http://www.land.vic.gov.au/land/lcnlc2.nsf/LinkView/5068301BBA359BA04A25688E0000B327960B73AE58FA5B3BCA256E4C00187954〕 ==Introduction== Localities often share the names of parishes (surveyed cadastral divisions) but their boundaries often differ. For instance the locality of Tyrendarra contains part of the parish of Narrawong to the west of the Fitzroy River, due to the township being established on the western border of the parish and postal services etc.to that area being supplied from Tyrendarra (the first two subscribers to the telephone service in 1925 were resident in the parish of Narrawong).〔Learmonth, Noel F. (1970). ''Four Towns and a Survey.'' Hawthorn Press: Melbourne〕 The locality of Tyrendarra East also lies within the parish. Bracketed behind locality names are the names of official ''neighbourhoods'' (unbounded areas listed by the Registrar of Geographic Names) that lie generally within the locality. The locality of Ouyen contains eighteen neighbourhoods, five of which once had a railway station and fourteen of which once had a post office. The amalgamation of farm properties, the consequent reduced population, closure of postal and railway facilities has led to the amalgamation of erstwhile localities, although those living there would not consider themselves to be living in Ouyen and their mail would still be addressed accordingly. In contrast, those living in the neighbourhood of Narrawong East would all give their address as Tyrendarra. The reason for the existence of the named neighbourhood was the State School (now closed) of the same name, nearer to Tyrendarra township than the Tyrendarra school, but within Narrawong parish and named accordingly. This is borne out by the official coordinates being those of the school. The list of neighbourhoods, with geographic coordinates, are available from Land Victoria.〔http://services.land.vic.gov.au/vicnames/place.html?method=list〕 Also bracketed are earlier names (or alternative ''official'' spellings or style) for a locality; few names have changed once established but Boggy Creek, Muddy Creek and Cannibal Creek gained more respectable names when a township was surveyed. The removal of the possessive apostrophe in place names is not recorded, but the more recent possessive to adjectival changes are (Darlot's Creek became Darlots Creek and later Darlot Creek). Names from the extended postcode (mail destination) list〔http://www.ncver.edu.au/statistics/classifications/postcode_suburb.txt〕 are included. When the new Australian postcode system was introduced in Victoria in 1967 all mail destinations were assigned postcodes based on the mail routing. Many localities share postcodes with nearby localities; some named localities have two or three different postcodes because different mail routes traversed their area. Postcodes were assigned outside the (then) metropolitan area along radial lines from Melbourne, from towards the south-west to towards the south-east numbered from 3211 to 3996 in a clockwise direction. The names of all Post Offices/Receiving Offices (PO/RO), Telegraph/Telephone Offices (TO) open at any time in Victoria have been recorded by Premier Postal History〔https://www.premierpostal.com/cgi-bin/wsProd.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=VIC&country=〕 and where the location is accurately known, and where the name of the office is not simply the surname of the operator of the facility, its name has been included. For (linked) localities with Wikipedia articles further information on the bracketed names may be expected within the articles. For those lacking articles the range of years the locality (or a bracketed area) had a Post, Telegraph or Telephone office are recorded as an approximation of the establishment of the locality as a populated entity, and as some indication of its life as a viable community. All names ''italicised'' have never had a Post or Telegraph office open under the exact name (apostrophisation excluded). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of localities in Victoria (Australia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
