Mitiamo

Mitiamo is a rural village on the railway line from Bendigo to Pyramid Hill, and the nearest natural feature to it is Mount Terrick Terrick (197 metres above sea level).

Mitiamo was first a parish name, thought to have been derived from an Aboriginal word referring to a man behind me. The Mitiamo township was surveyed in 1874, when some of the district was subdivided for farm selections. The district is flat and subject to dry spells, but Mitiamo is situated between Bullock Creek (3 km west) and Bendigo Creek (3 km east).
