Geelong to Ballarat Railway, 1862-
Description
The railway line from Geelong to Ballarat was one of the two Goldfields Railways built at the very beginning of the Victorian Railways era between 1858 and 1862.
The railway was built to serve the gold mining town of Ballarat which, along with Bendigo, produced a large proportion of the great wealth with which Victoria was blessed during the second half of the nineteenth century.
