Welcome to Romsey Online
Romsey is located sixty-five kilometres north of Melbourne, Victoria (Australia) in the Shire of Macedon Ranges, and eight kilometres south of Lancefield. Adjacent to Five Mile Creek, Romsey covers an area of about 7.5 square kilometres.
Romsey was named (it is believed) after a town of the same name in England. Its historic red brick buildings line a spacious main street giving it an English village feel. Surrounding fertile countryside is ideal for cattle and sheep grazing and other agricultural pursuits. Romsey has a high commuter population due to its proximity to Melbourne.
Between 2001 and 2006, the population increased by 14%. A large proportion of the population is comprised of families with children, and this is reflected in the youthful age profile (one-third aged under 18 years) and larger households (38% with four or more persons).
