Cheviot, Victoria
Cheviot is a locality in Victoria, Australia in the Shire of Murrindindi local government area.
History
The locality was named after a nearby pastoral run called Cheviot Hills, which in turn was named after the locality on the English-Scottish border. It was also called Ross Creek.[1][2] From 1889 until 1978 there was an active railway station here on the now historic and abandoned Cheviot railway station which took route on the Mansfield-Tallarook line. Cheviot Post Office opened on 9 April 1890 after the arrival of the railway, and closed in 1944.[3] The rails have gone but an old goods shed survives, and to the northeast the Cheviot Tunnel provides an excellent example of brick workmanship of the nineteenth century.
A Ross Creek Post Office opened on 14 October 1865 and closed in 1969.[3]
