Kooloonong is a locality in Victoria, Australia, located approximately 147 km from Mildura, Victoria.
The railway north of Swan Hill was extended from Piangil to Kooloonong in March 1920[2] to support the establishment of soldier settlement farms in the area. For many years water was carted to the location by train because there was no natural water supply.[3] The line from Piangil was closed in December 1986.[2]
Kooloonong Post Office opened around June 1920 and closed in 1973.[4]
