Hesse is a rural locality in the Golden Plains Shire, Victoria, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Hesse had a population of 19 people.[1]

Hesse covers an area of rural farmland along the Hamilton Highway between the towns of Cressy and Inverleigh. The Western standard gauge line runs through the locality; while Hesse never had a station, the former station at Wingeel was close to the Hesse boundary. Wentworths Road, which runs north/north-west in the direction of Shelford, is the only other significant road in the locality. The Warrambine and Mia Mia Creeks also run through Hesse.[3]

Warrambine Post Office opened on 16 January 1871, was renamed Hesse Post Office on 14 February 1871, and closed on 1 July 1899. A postal receiving office opened at Hesse in 1903, and a second Hesse Post Office was opened on 17 February 1914; it became a receiving office again on 1 August 1914, a post office again on 1 July 1927, and closed on 31 January 1966.[4]

The Barunah Plains Homestead is located at Hesse, which hosts the annual Beyond The Valley Fesitval over the new year's period. [5][6][7]
