Kooloonong is a locality in Victoria, Australia, located approximately 147 km from Mildura and was on the Yungera railway line.

Kooloonong was established as a soldier settlement area for returned servicemen from World War I. By the mid-1920s, it was a thriving township with a bush nursing hospital, government offices, a school, an RSL hall, a railway station and sporting facilities. The town has declined since then and now has only one occupied house, plus the rarely-used hall, a CFA shed and unused grain handling facilities.^[3]

The railway north of Swan Hill was extended from Piangil to Kooloonong in March 1920^[4] to support the soldier settlement farms in the area. For many years, water was carted to the location by train because there was no natural water supply.^[5] The line from Piangil was closed in December 1986.^[4] Kooloonong Post Office opened around June 1920 and closed in 1973.^[6] It had a polling place for federal elections from 1922.^[7]

Yungera

In 1926, the railway to Kooloonong was further extended to a terminus named Yungera,^[8] at what is now the boundary between the localities of Kooloonong and Boundary Bend. The line was shortened back to Kooloonong in 1957.^[9] Yungera had a polling place for federal elections from 1929^[10] to 1937.^[11]
