The place by road, is situated about 10 kilometres west of Karawinna and 10 kilometres east of Bambill.

At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Werrimull and the surrounding area had a population of 112, declining from 320 in 2011.[2] Werrimull is an indigenous Australian word believed to mean Eagle. Werrimull is sometimes misspelt Werrimul possibly because it is confused with an indigenous group from the Horsham region.[3]HistoryThe Millewa was opened up to farming in the 1920s, the Post Office opening on 24 June 1924.[4] The railway reached Werrimull in 1923, officially opened 1924, but closed by 1989.[5] Much of the native Eucalyptus trees were cleared to make way for farming. This has given rise to soil salinity in the area. Most of the Werrimull area was a Soldier Settlement with blocks of approximately {{convert|1|sqmi|km2|adj=on}} allocated. This was found to be too small and many were unable to make a living in this region. The population of the Millewa has been in steady decline over many years. The area of the locality contains a number of previous localities which existed when the population was larger, namely Bambill which had a post office open from 1926 until 1959, Bambill South with a post office from 1928 until 1930, Karawinna with a post office from 1924 until 1970, Karawinna North on the Sturt Highway with a post office from 1928 until 1951, Yarrara with a post office from 1926 until 1978 and Yarrara North on the Sturt Highway.[4] The town todayThe main industry in Werrimull and the Millewa is the harvesting of grains such as wheat, barley and oats. There is also a strong sheep and cattle industry. Werrimull is also a stop-over for a small number of tourists that visit the Millewa Pioneer Forest.[6] Werrimull has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Millewa Football League that was strong in the 1920s and 1970s.
