Kolora

Kolora is a rural locality in western Victoria, 11 km south-east of Mortlake.

The Kolora district was first settled as the Keilambete pastoral run (1840), which extended south and included Lake Keilambete near Terang. In 1897 the property was subdivided, adding to the district’s farm properties which had begun with the subdivision of the neighbouring Glenormiston estate.

A Glenormiston primary school had been opened in about 1870. In 1892 the school was renamed Kolora, taking the name from a lagoon in the vicinity.
