Nullawil

Nullawil is a locality in Victoria, Australia, located approximately 302 kilometres (188 mi) from the state capital, Melbourne. At the 2021 census, Nullawil had a population of 92.

It is thought that the name of the settlement derives from two Aboriginal words: "nulla", meaning killing stick, and "wil", from "willock", meaning galah.

The railway came to Nullawil in March 1895, when the line was extended from Wycheproof to Sea Lake. Passenger services ceased in May 1977. The post office opened on 26 April 1897.
