Mortlake is a town in the Western District of Victoria, Australia on the Hamilton Highway, 50 kilometres north-east of Warrnambool. It is in the Shire of Moyne local government area and the federal Division of Wannon. The town, which has a large number of impressive bluestone buildings, lies in an area of fertile volcanic plains which have produced a rich pastoral and agricultural district. The area is known for its olivine crystal which can be fossicked on Mount Shadwell. Home to a golf course, horse racing club, facilities and clubs for football, netball, cricket and tennis, and the Annual Australian Busking Championships, Mortlake is an ideal location for families with children but would also suit retirees.
