Allendale (aka Allandale) is a town in Victoria, Australia, located north-east of Creswick, in the Shire of Hepburn. At the 2011 census, Allendale and the surrounding area had a population of 211.[1]
The town began as a mining settlement around the Berry Leads mining area. It had a peak population of about 1,500.
