Herne Hill History

The Wadawurrung people are the Traditional Custodians of Herne Hill. The area between Herne Hill and Geelong West, Manifold Heights, was settled as early as the 1920s. Herne Hill’s residential growth came after World War II. There was a national school at Herne Hill (1861-63). Away to the west, nearly to Fyansford, the Geelong Protestant and Orphan Asylum and common school was built in 1855. Portland Cement acquired the orphan asylum site in 1933, but the buildings were retained and later used as a cement retiree’s centre and museum. They are heritage listed.
