Rail Geelong - hopefully everything you ever wanted to know about the history of the railways of Geelong and District, and then some.
Currently detailed histories are in place for the Melbourne - Geelong - Warrnambool, Geelong - Ballarat, Maribyrnong River Line, Newport Power Station, Altona, Fyansford, Cunningham Pier, Queenscliff, Geelong Racecourse, and Mortlake railway lines. Histories of the locations on the lines themselves have also been completed in various levels of detail.
Any comments or feedback is welcomed via the contact form.

| December 21, 2009 | More site issuesAfter another round of issues with the site that I found over the weekend, I have now got it back online. This time I have updated the code to the latest version, instead of just restoring from clean backups. |
| December 10, 2009 | Some site issuesI noticed this evening that some Malware had been inserted into my site's code, which then attempted to exploit holes in visitors web browsers to install nasties onto their computers. I took the site offline for a few hours to restore from backups, and now it is all clean again. Firefox or Google may still flag the site as a 'suspected attack site' but the issue has been fixed. |
