Statement of Significance
Fine bluestone building on one of the earliest link routes in Victoria. One of a notable group of sylistically similar station buildings, this station is a direct derivation of the English style, common in England during the 1840's-50's. The station demonstrates a high quality of craftsmanship and is an excellent illustration of country station architecture of the 1860's in Victoria.
The station was constructed by J. Campbell & Co. for Victorian Railways in 1861. The Geelong-Ballarat line was one of Victoria's first main trunk lines and is a reminder of Ballarat's importance and Geelong's aspirations as a major port.
