Bolinda /bəˈlɪndə/ is a small town and locality north of Melbourne, Australia on the Melbourne-Lancefield Road. It is 6 km. south of Romsey, within the Shire of Macedon Ranges.
John Brock, one of the first British settlers in the Bolinda district, named his station Bullando Vale.[1] However, it is not clear whether this is connected in any way to the present name.
Bolinda Post Office opened on 12 June 1879 and closed in 1980.[2]
The community today is centred on the primary school (established 1870), community hall and recreation reserve.
Bolinda was an intermediate stopping point on the Clarkefield-Lancefield railway which operated between 1881 and 1956.
