Moonambel is a small town in the Pyrenees region of the Australian state of Victoria, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of the Sunraysia Highway. It is in the Pyrenees Shire Local Government Area and near the heart of the Pyrenees wine region[4] in the Pyrenees Ranges.
The population of Moonambel as recorded at the 2016 Census was 167 with a median age of 59.[5]
Moonambel's location in a valley and in a sparsely populated part of the state resulted in poor mobile phone reception which impacted on local residents, businesses and visiting tourists. A base station was funded under the Mobile Black Spot Program and built in 2017.[6]
