Teesdale is a small town in the Golden Plains Shire, near the regional city of Geelong and less than 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of the state capital, Melbourne.

The town has become a place for both high net worth residents seeking a country lifestyle, and young homebuyers who are prepared to commute to Melbourne or Geelong for work. In 2006 the town had 1033 residents but that has grown to 1479 in 2011 and 1721[1] residents in 2016 census .

A feature of the town is a large park to the north of the main road known to the locals as 'Turtle Bend', featuring playgrounds, bike tracks, walking trails, BBQ areas, and a community building with a steel roof in the shape of a turtle.

Teesdale General Store and Post Office is one of the oldest in the area, having opened on 8 March 1864.[2]

In addition to the general store and post office, Teesdale is a thriving small town community which includes a primary school, doctors clinic, pharmacy, cafe, childcare centre, community hall and numerous sporting and community organisations.
