Yendon, Victoria
Yendon is a small town in Victoria, Australia. The town is located in the Shire of Moorabool, 108 kilometres (67 mi) west of the state capital, Melbourne and approximately 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) south east of Ballarat. The population in 2011 was about 211. The town was originally called Buninyong East, but was changed in 1879 to Yendon, believed to be an Indigenous Australian word meaning "waterhole".
The Geelong-Ballarat railway line passed through Yendon, and for a while in the early 1860s it was the terminus of the line. A substantial two-storied bluestone railway station was built in 1862. This was demolished in 1969. The stone from the railway station was reused to build garden retaining walls at the Ballarat Institute of Advanced Education (now Federation University).
Yendon's first school, the Common School opened in 1864, which in 1879 became Yendon State School and closed at the end of 1993.
