The Warrnambool Railway Station is located in Victoria Australia, south west of the state capital Melbourne and is likely to take 3 hours + journey by rail or road.
The Terang to Warrnambool section of the Geelong-Warrnambool railway line opened in 1890. Warrnambool railway station opened on 4 February 1890, and while it was originally not a terminus station as the line continued to Port Fairy, it was the major station after Geelong.
The Railway Precinct is of historical significance as the representation of a transport revolution which transformed passenger traffic and the import and export of goods and produce. It also marked the immediate conclusion of coach travel and the eventual decline of coastal shipping.
Warrnambool comes from the language of the Kuurn Kopan Noot Aborigines. It is said to mean either "two swamps", "a growing tree", “place of plenty" or "ample water"
