Bannockburn, Victoria
Bannockburn is located 93 km south-west of Melbourne via Geelong and the Midland Highway. The town, named after the famous battle site in Scotland, came into existence in the 1850s when gold was shipped by coach from the gold fields in Ballarat to the port at Geelong.
The town developed around the Somerset Hotel. The hotel was used for the double purpose of a gaol and a overnight 'bank vault' for the gold.
