The town in the [City of Greater Shepparton](/source/City_of_Greater_Shepparton) local government area, 211 kilometres (131 mi) north of the state capital, [Melbourne](/source/Melbourne) and 26 kilometres (16 mi) north-west of the regional centre of [Shepparton](/source/Shepparton). At the [2011 census](/source/2011_Australian_census), Undera and the surrounding area had a population of 545, declining to 442 by 2016.[2] ## History In 1874, when the area came under farm-selection activity, a township was surveyed and named Undera, the Post Office opening on 24 August 1875.[3] It is thought that the name is derived from an [Aboriginal](/source/Indigenous_Australian) word, most likely meaning fat.[4] Before being named Undera, the area was known as Mundoona. A school was opened in 1876, and Catholic and Presbyterian churches were opened the following year. The Undera district extends northwards to Undera North and a westerly bend of the [Goulburn River](/source/Goulburn_River_(Victoria)). Whilst the township is in the Goulburn Valley irrigation area, the northern parts sustained a local timber industry until the 1940s, and are mixed grazing and agricultural. Undera has a school (21 pupils, 1998), a church, a memorial hall, (1928), a large reserve with a [motorcycle](/source/Motorcycle) track and a [tennis court](/source/Tennis_court). The town has an [Australian Rules](/source/Australian_Rules) football team competing in the [Kyabram & District Football League](/source/Kyabram_%26_District_Football_League). Its census populations have been 95 (1911), 350 (1933) and 156 (1966). ## Sport Undera is the home of the Undera Park Speedway, a 320 metres (350 yards) [motorcycle speedway](/source/Motorcycle_speedway) track located in the Undera Park Recreation Reserve ([36°16′36″S 145°12′55″E / 36.27667°S 145.21528°E / -36.27667; 145.21528](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Undera¶ms=36_16_36_S_145_12_55_E_)).
