Woods Point Petrol Station
4.7
54 reviewsAbout
This renowned little fuel stop harks back to Woods Point's hey-day. The tiny, original timber building was once a functioning petrol station and bore witness to the gold-mining fever of the 19th century.
By the mid 1860s there were about 50 functioning mines around Woods Point, plus some 30 hotels, a police station, a hospital, a chemist, six banks, dancing saloons, a newspaper and various other businesses.
Today the town is home to a permanent population of less than 30, but relics of the by-gone era abound and a visit to Woods Point is a living history lesson. Call in to the Woods Point Store or Hotel whilst in town. Please note: No fuel available in Woods Point. Gravel road access only.

Good place to take a break from driving through some very pretty Victoria countryside and have a picnic in the local park or visit the local pub for their highly acclaimed menu. Interesting local historical museum has a lot of information, hands on displays and memorabilia and a very well informed and friendly guide.

Hmmmm! A tad hard to rate this since it's just a building and doesn't do much except stand there. However, it is an intriguing building to marvel at since it is a glimpse into Australia of the past, as is the small town of Wood's Point. A very quaint, rural town tucked away in the heart of regional Victoria. The drive to this town requires a sturdy vehicle since a good few kilometres of the roads in and out of Wood's Point are gravel, but they do take you through some beautiful countryside. If you like driving and love the Victorian countryside Wood's Point is probably worth a visit. Pack a picnic too as there are some lovely spots to stop for a bite to eat.
