Herne Hill

Herne Hill, a residential suburb, is 3 km north-west of central Geelong. It was the most westerly part of the former city of Geelong West, extending from Minerva Road to the Moorabool River, and was possibly named after Herne Hill, England. In any event it slopes down to the river, and at a high end of the slope a place was chosen for a burial ground (1858).
