About Pennyroyal
Pennyroyal is a rural locality in Victoria, Australia.
Most of the Pennyroyal locality is situated in the
Surf Coast Shire; a small
section is situated in the Shire of Colac Otway. In
the 2011 census, the population of Pennyroyal was
too low to separately report; however in June 2014
the Victorian Electoral Commission recorded 72
enrolled voters in Pennyroyal, living in 44
properties. It was probably named in 1841 by
Simeon Madden, after the plant that grew by
Pennyroyal Creek.
Pennyroyal is a small rural locality; while it once
had a post office, church, school, and railway
station for carting local produce, these have long
since closed.
