Trawalla

Trawalla is a town in central Western Victoria, Australia, located on the Western Highway, west of Ballarat and west of Melbourne, in the Shire of Pyrenees. At the , Trawalla and the surrounding agricultural area had a population of 224.

Trawalla sits at the headwaters of the Mount Emu Creek where it crosses the Western Highway. The original inhabitants of the area were the Moner Balug clan of the Wadawurrung people (also known as the Wathaurong), who had occupied the land for at least 6,500 years. They called the area Trawalla, which means "wild water" or, possibly, "much rain". Excavations along the Western Highway in 2011-12 located large Aboriginal occupation areas on the alluvial banks of Mount Emu Creek. Material found included flaked and ground stone tools, ochre, and the remnants of hearths, which may have been used for the treatment of wood and animal hides.
