Elliminyt has changed a lot in the last 20 years. Around 2,000 people lived here in 2006. By 2021 it was 3,260. That growth means plenty of families moving in, moving up to a bigger house, or moving within Colac. As a moving company in Elliminyt, we know most jobs here are full family homes, not small loads.

Elliminyt at a Glance: From Town Common to Family Suburb

Elliminyt sits right beside Colac in the Colac Otway Shire, part of Victoria’s Barwon region, postcode 3250. It’s about 150 km south-west of Melbourne, on the northern edge of the Otway Ranges. Lake Colac is just to the north, and the Great Ocean Road is within easy reach to the south.

The name comes from the Illiminyte pastoral run, taken up in 1837 by Hugh Murray, Colac’s first settler. In the late 1860s, the old Colac Town Common was cut up into small farms here, and a school followed in 1878. The Colac racecourse and golf course still sit on the southern edge of the suburb.

Today Elliminyt is mostly residential, with a small shopping centre of its own. Colac, next door, has the supermarkets, Colac Area Health and Colac station on the V/Line Warrnambool line. Trinity College and Colac College sit just inside the Elliminyt boundary, and a Catholic primary school serves families on the south side.

The 2021 census shows what most moves here look like:

• Big family homes. Almost all homes are separate houses, and about half have four or more bedrooms.
• Busy households. The average home has 2.7 people, and about one in eight has five or more.

Moving a Four-Bedroom Elliminyt Home

A four-bedroom house with a double garage and a backyard full of play equipment is a big load. Most Elliminyt family homes need our 8-tonne truck (up to 30 cubic metres), and larger ones may need our 10-tonne truck (up to 40 cubic metres).

Kids’ rooms take time. Bunk beds, cots and study desks need taking apart, and toys and clothes fill more boxes than you’d think. We take beds and wardrobes apart, bag the screws and rebuild them in your new rooms.

If you’re on one of the bigger semi-rural blocks further from town, let us know about long driveways, sheds and any steep or soft ground. We’ll plan where the truck can park.

Fitting Your Move Around School Terms

With two large secondary colleges and a primary school close by, school life runs a lot of Elliminyt households. A move in the middle of term can be stressful for kids.

Move in the school holidays if you can. It gives everyone a few days to settle before classes start.

Unpack the kids’ rooms first. Familiar beds and belongings help children feel at home quickly.

Weekend moves cost the same. If holidays don’t work, a Saturday move lets the family help without missing school or work.

Common Problems We See During Elliminyt Moves

These are the issues that come up most on family moves in Elliminyt.

Underestimating a four-bedroom house. Families often forget the garage, the garden shed and outdoor play equipment. Walk the whole property before you ask for a quote.

Moving mid-term with kids. Packing while juggling school runs is hard work. Book a holiday or weekend move, or let us pack for you.

Kids’ furniture that won’t come apart easily. Bunk beds and flat-pack desks can be tricky. Tell us about them, and we’ll bring the right tools.

Settlement dates that don’t line up. Buying and selling at the same time often leaves a gap. Ask about our storage early.

Leaving the last room until moving day. The garage and spare room are often packed last and in a rush. Start on them a week or two before.
