Bell Post Hill

Bell Post Hill is a residential suburb north-west of Geelong, adjoining the Midland Highway or Ballarat Road.

Its name is thought to have arisen from a look-out post or warning bell on a post which was installed on a prominent rise which has views over the surrounding countryside and out to Corio Bay. The earliest record of the look-out or warning bell was of an event in 1837 which involved conflict with local Aborigines.
