Toolern Vale

Toolern Vale, is a village and an agricultural and pastoral locality. The village is 40 km north-west of central Melbourne and 9 km north of Melton. It is on the Toolern Creek, which flows southwards through Melton before joining the Werribee River.

Toolern is thought to be derived from an Aboriginal word meaning tongue. Earlier spellings included Toolaam and Tooleran. ‘Vale’ was added to the name in 1931.
