The Heathcote railway line was a cross-country link between Bendigo and Heathcote Junction. It was partly opened in 1888 and, by 1890, it was fully operational.[2] It was partially closed in 1958 and fully closed in 1968.
In 1975, it was decided to dismantle the track and, today, only some trestle bridges remain.[3]
