Aerial view - Historic images - Walkaround : Terang : Victoria Australia

Terang is a town in the Western District of Victoria, Australia. The town is in the Shire of Corangamite and on the Princes Highway 212 kilometers (132 mi) south west of the state's capital, Melbourne. The semi-nomadic Kirrae Wurrung clans originally inhabited the area between Mount Emu Creek and the Hopkins River, and much of their language was recorded by a Scottish squatter, James Dawson. The first dwelling in the township area was built in 1840 by Donald McNicol, and consisted of a slab hut on the east bank of Lake Terang. The township was developed in the late 1850s, the post office opening on 1 March 1859. A Bible Christian church had been built by 1865, and in 1868 a Presbyterian church was built, reflecting the district’s Scottish origins. In 1887 the railway was extended from Camperdown to Terang, and within a few years some of the large pastoral estates were partly subdivided for farms, mainly dairying. A progress association was formed in 1889 and a butter and cheese factory were opened at Glenormiston in 1895. It later transferred to a larger factory at Noorat. Between 1880 and 1900 Terang’s population more than doubled to about 1300 people. The railway though the town was opened in 1887. From 1890 it was extended as part of Victoria's south-western line. The Mortlake line once branched from the town, opened in 1893 and closed in 1978. The local railway station is served by V/Line passenger services on the Warrnambool line. The Terang Magistrates' Court closed on 1 January 1983. The post office (1904), Presbyterian church, the railway station (1889) and the Marida Yallock homestead (1854) are listed on the heritage register Credits and References; State Library Victoria https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/ Photographers and contributors; Collins, John T.
