Moora Moora is a co-operative residential community made up of a diverse group of about 50 adults and 20 children. We deliberately choose to live together in six small hamlets located on a beautiful co-operatively owned 245 hectare (600 acre) property situated at an altitude of 700 meters (2400 feet) on Mount Toolebewong.

The community is situated near the township of Healesville, approximately 67 km (90 minutes by car) to the East of the city of Melbourne. Melbourne is Australia's second largest city and capital of the state of Victoria. It is located in the South Eastern corner of continental Australia.

Bushfires
(18/02/2009) The region around Healesville and Moora Moora has suffered a horrific bushfire event beginning on the afternoon of Saturday 7th February. The fires have destroyed many buildings, several entire townships and have taken about 200 lives as well as burning vast areas of native forest and grassland. At the time of writing, after a period of cool and still weather the efforts of thousands of fire fighters, many of them volunteers, has eased the situation.

At this time neither Moora Moora or Mount TooleBeWong have been physically affected by the events, although we are feeling nervous, stressed and are saddened by the impact of the fires on our friends and neighbours.
