Timboon railway line
The Timboon railway line is a closed railway line, in Victoria, Australia, which branched from the Port Fairy line, near Camperdown, and served the towns of Cobden and Timboon, along with the farming communities of the area. The 1916 Government Railways Standing Committee rejected the submission to extend the line to Port Campbell[2]
