The town is located 615 kilometres south west of the state capital, Sydney and 105 kilometres north west of Albury. Oaklands is in the Federation Council local government area and at the {{CensusAU|2011}}, had a population of 238.[1] The earliest settlement in the district of Oaklands was by the Tyson brothers, James and William, in 1846. [2]Oaklands Post Office opened on 16 June 1890.[3] The major industry in the Oaklands region is agriculture, including the production of wheat and rice and is a major grain handling area. It is the home of the Oaklands Diuris, a threatened native orchid that is currently only found in the Oaklands region.[4] History{{Expand section|date=January 2019}}RailA standard gauge branch line from the New South Wales Government Railways Main South line at The Rock was extended from Lockhart to Oaklands in 1912.[5] A broad gauge branch line from the Victorian Railways North East line at Benalla was extended from Yarrawonga to Oaklands in 1938, creating a break-of-gauge until the New South Wales line was closed south of Boree Creek. There are several stations between Yarrawonga and Oaklands.[6] With the conversion of the North East railway to Albury to standard gauge in 2008, the Oaklands branch railway was for a time a gauge orphan. After much lobbying, the {{convert|113|km|mi}} branch was converted to {{RailGauge|1435mm}}. Oaklands is located 313 km from Melbourne and 675 km from Sydney. {{s-rail-start}}{{s-rail|title=NSW Branch lines}}{{s-line|system=NSW Country lines|line=Oaklands|previous=|next=Coorabin|notemid=(closed section)}}{{end}}GalleryReferences1. ^1 {{Census 2011 AUS|id=SSC11795|name=Oaklands (State Suburbs)|accessdate=5 April 2015|quick=on}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Terry|first=Mona|title=The Light Shines On.
