Warragul, Australia

Capital City

With a population of just 19,134, Warragul is a modest regional town in Victoria's Gippsland region. The surrounding countryside is known for dairy farming and specialty agriculture, but the town itself lacks the amenities and public transport of a major city. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the Warragul Magistrates' Court having closed in 1990. The cool, rainy climate can also be a turnoff for some, with temperatures ranging from a chilly 3.8°C in winter to a still-mild 26.2°C in summer. But for those seeking a quieter pace of life and access to nature, Warragul may be an appealing option.
