Nar Nar Goon is a town in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia located near Pakenham in the Shire of Cardinia. At the 2006 census, Nar Nar Goon and the surrounding area had a population of 1,010.[1] It is known locally as "The Mural Town" or the town with lots of "murals" because of the numerous murals that can be seen around the town.
The name is thought to come from an Aboriginal name for the koala. The town contains a private and public school, each offering primary education, an active progress association, a CFA fire station, scout hall, community centre and hotel.
The town has its own railway station on the Bairnsdale railway line.
Development is expected to take off here soon with a planned site for a new racecourse.
