Located in the scenic countryside of the Goulburn Valley Region, Mangalore is strategically based just north of the Great Dividing Range, which separates Mangalore from Melbourne. While this has significant impact on the type of weather conditions encountered, it is still only a 100km drive to the city centre of Melbourne.

Students at the airport have come to appreciate the efficiencies that come as a result of the ideal weather, which means that there are rarely delays due to poor weather.
is approximately 20 minutes away to the south by air. To the east, also about 20 minutes flying time, lie the mountainous areas of the ski resorts at Mount Buller and the 'High Country'.
