Charlton is a rural town serving a farming community situated 240 km north-west of Melbourne and 110 km north- west of Bendigo. The township is located on the Calder Highway and the Avoca River and supported by a full range of services and facilities including a hospital, doctor, banking, sporting and recreational opportunities. The school family occupations index (SFO) is 0.43 and has remained fairly consistent.
