History
Geelong Station was the original terminus of the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company line. The first Geelong Station was a dead ended terminus located somewhere near the present Law Courts Complex. In 1876 the railway was extended south to Colac, and the station was altered.
The present station building dates back to the 1880s. The station is one of only three in Victoria to have a train shed (along with Ballarat and St Kilda).[cite web]
