New in Bonegilla? Start here
Everything a new arrival actually asks in the first month, answered from the 3 businesses, clubs and places we list here. No sponsored entries, nothing paid for.
First, the thing people get wrong
Bonegilla sits between Wodonga and Lake Hume and is best known for Block 19 of the Bonegilla Migrant Experience, the reception centre that processed more than 300,000 post war migrants. Today it is a small rural settlement with lake access at Ludlows Reserve. Holiday houses and the caravan park trade drive most of the local work.
Bonegilla is in Victoria, postcode 3691, and 6 of the towns people here use day to day are in New South Wales. That is why this matters more in Bonegilla than it does most places: the state a job is done in decides which trade licence applies, which public holiday calendar sets the penalty rate, and which regulator hears a complaint.
If you are hiring anyone, the border check tells you which state's rules apply to an address, and the licence check opens the right register.
The shape of the place
Bonegilla runs on Wodonga for anything it does not have itself, and the drive is about 11 kilometres. These are the facts that decide who you ring and where you go, rather than the ones a tourism page leads with.

Where locals actually post what is on
Half of what happens in Bonegilla never reaches a website. It goes on a council page or a community group and nowhere else. These 3 cover Bonegilla , starting with Wodonga Council, and every URL was read off the organisation's own site rather than guessed from its name.

The 0 businesses that cover Bonegilla
Before you pay a deposit. Ask which licence they are working under
for your job and check it. It takes a minute on the
licence check, and on this border the
licence that counts is the one for the state the work is in, not the state the
business is registered in.
