graeme peucker Posted on 25 Jun 2013 at 09:36 AM GMT+10:00 I along with my bothers and sisters live on our farm in Ingliston just jup the road from the railway station on the other side of the road our farm backed on to the Werribee Gorge with the water fall starting there and as kids we trapped rabbits for pocket money, we were there when two trains had a head on and my father cut sheep free from the train> My older sister made the news papers as the girl who loved trains. These where the best years of my life.

Tad Woznica Posted on 31 Mar 2011 at 11:29 PM GMT+11:00 I have was Employed as Assistant Station Master at Ingliston 1956, Visited the Bluestone Farmhouse east of Railway Station. Remember an enormous fireplace with two doors from outside an gantry allowing a very large firewood log hanging from chains be pushed in. Was told that the stone fence was for protection from Aboriginal Warriors which lived around the nearby Werribee Gorge. I can not remember the Farmers's name.
