The town is in the Rural City of Mildura local government area and on the Mallee Highway—between Ouyen and the South Australian border – {{convert|476|km}} north west of the state capital, Melbourne. At the {{CensusAU|2006}}, Underbool had a population of 217.[2] The town services the grain farmers and graziers in the area. For tourists it provides access to the Pink Lakes in Murray-Sunset National Park. The town name is thought to come from the German word underbolt given to it by surveyor Dr. Neumayer when he camped there in October 1861.{{citation needed|date=September 2012}} A post office opened on 15 July 1912 when a regular mail service was provided by the opening of the railway from Ouyen to Murrayville a month earlier.[3] Underbool Primary School (No. 3819) opened on 5 November 1913, with a purpose-built school building opening in June 1919. A second weatherboard building was built in 1929, and the former Daalko school building moved there in 1967.[4] With its neighbouring township Walpeup Underbool had a football team (Walpeup-Underbool) in the Mallee Football League until the league folded in 2015. Golfers play at the course of the Underbool Golf Club on Monash Avenue.[5] Notable People:Greg Brown - Independent MP James Kilpatrick - Professional Latin Dancer (Adelaide) Dallas Willsmore - Professional AFL Footballer (Box Hill) References1. ^Travelmate 2. ^1 {{Census 2006 AUS | id = UCL254600| name = (L) (Urban Centre/Locality) | accessdate = 1 October 2007| quick = on}} 3. ^{{Citation | last = Premier Postal History | title = Post Office List | url = https://www.premierpostal.com/cgi-bin/wsProd.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=VIC&country= | accessdate = 11 April 2008 | deadurl = yes | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20080510053152/http://www.premierpostal.com/cgi-bin/wsProd.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=VIC&country= | archivedate = 10 May 2008 | df = dmy-all }} 4. ^{{cite book | title=What Happened To All The Schools? | publisher=Local History Resource Centre | year=1989 | pages=72}} 5. ^{{Citation | author= Golf Select | title = Underbool | url = http://www.golfselect.com.au/armchair/courseView.aspx?course_id=1114 | accessdate = 11 May 2009}} External links{{Commons category-inline|Underbool, Victoria}}{{Towns in the Rural City of Mildura}}{{Sunraysia}}{{Mallee-geo-stub}} 2 : Towns in Victoria (Australia)|Mallee (Victoria) |
