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.
