Korong Vale was a speck of a town with a population of just 238 people in 1981 and most of them would have been railway employees. It was the junction for the Sea Lake and Robinvale lines, during wheat season it was common to send relieving crews there to cope with the heavy traffic. Loaded wheat could be dispatched to either Bendigo where it would travel on to Melbourne and Geelong or it could go to Dunnoly, a large inland wheat storage facility. It had two signalboxes, (A box controlled 2 sets of interlocked gates), loco depot and 8 track marshalling yard as well as the usual goods shed, livestock loading facilities and weighbridge. Perusal of the signal diagrams (link above) will show the extent of the yard tracks. It all ended in 1983 when practically everything you see in the following photos was demolished. About the only structure now remaining is the water tank on the down side of the Vernon street level crossing.DVD.

Tait collection: item 54 of 62 This document gives the details of the Letters of Administration of Michael Maloney who died intestate in 1907. He was aged 64. In this document he was described as a farmer from Dennington, near Warrnambool but a Michael Maloney is listed in 1866 as a butcher and this may be the same person or a member of his family. Michael Maloney left real estate to the value of £160 and personal estate to the value of £38. This was passed over to the son, Michael Maloney, a railway employee of Flemington, Melbourne. The lawyers involved in drawing up this document were O’Mahony and Murray who had legal offices in Warrnambool in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Con O’Mahony had established his practice in Warrnambool in the 1880s under the name of Klingender, O’Mahony and Murray and by the 20th century this was operating under the name of O’Mahony and Murray. Con O’Mahony died in 1920. This document was then passed down to successive lawyers occupying the legal premises in Kepler Street where it was located in 2014 (the former premises of the legal firm of Mackay Taylor). This document is of some interest as it gives details of the Letters of Administration of Michael Maloney, a farmer in the Dennington area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It will be useful for researchers. This is a cream-coloured piece of parchment paper folded in two to make four pages. The front page has ruled black margins and there is handwritten material on two of the pages in brown ink. These two pages also have printed italic script on them in black ink with the handwritten material inserted in the spaces left. A seal of the Supreme Court of Victoria is attached with a green ribbon and there is a red stamp of the Master in Equity of the Supreme Court on the first page. The document is somewhat stained.
