The Line’s Opening Stations

GEMBROOK

40 3/4 miles, 1020 ft. 

Station Opened: 18 Dec 1900

Survey plans for the line show the station as "Bromby’s Hill" but the station opened as "Gembrook". 

It was so named after finds of precious stones in the nearby creek by Dr. Bleasdale and Mr. A.A. LeSouef. 

(The site had originally been pegged out for settlement on 14th April, 1874 by a Dr. J.E. Bromby, hence the earlier location name)
