Bayles

Bayles is a rural village situated in the area formerly known as ‘the Great Swamp’, neighbouring Koo Wee Rup in the Shire of Cardinia. It is 70 km south-east of central Melbourne. Previously known as the Yallock Village Settlement, with the opening of the railway station, the village was named after Frederick Bayles, the first member of the Victorian Railway Construction Branch to be killed in World War I.
