The Melbourne to Bendigo railway was built in 1859 and the railway to Ballarat began first to Melton in 1884 to Parwan in 1886 and to Bacchus Marsh in 1887. The junction of the two lines was known as Bacchus Marsh Junction during construction and after completion the area became Braybrook Junction no doubt influenced by the nearby settlement of Braybrook. In 1907 the Braybrook Junction Progress Association petitioned the Victorian Railways Commissioners requesting that the station name be changed to Sunshine Junction possibly recognising the dominating presence of the Sunshine Harvester Works. Approval was very promptly granted by the Commissioners and in the Victoria Gazette of July 17 1907 page 3419 the Victorian Railways gazetted that on and after Monday 15th July the name of Braybrook Junction station will be changed to Sunshine.sunshine railway station, railway -

... April 1998 Sunshine Rail Disaster Tom Rigg...Tom Rigg...Audio Sunshine Railway Disaster By Tom Rigg Audio Tape Tom Rigg ...The Sunshine Railway Disaster was a catastrophic rear‑end collision at Sunshine Station on 20 April 1908, killing 44 people and injuring more than 400, the worst rail accident in Victoria’s history. The official inquiry found the Bendigo train passed a signal at danger, likely due to brake failure, and could not stop in time. This accident led to major reforms in Victorian railway safety, including: - Stronger steel‑framed carriages. - Improved braking systems. - Better signalling and traffic control. - The disaster remains a defining moment in Sunshine’s early 20th‑century history.

Photograph ...Malleefowls (Leipoa Ocellata) are shy, ground-dwelling birds that make their homes in Mallee country. The nearby Wyperfeld National Park in Hopetoun is a known habitat. The malleefowl mounds are one of the most fascinating things about the malleefowl. Unlike most birds, they don’t build nests in trees or on the ground. Instead, they create large nesting mounds of sand, soil, and organic material, sometimes up to 5 metres in diameter and 1 metre in height. After the female malleefowl lays the eggs, the heat generated by the decomposition of the organic material inside the mound incubates them. The male bird constantly adjusts the temperature by adding or removing material. It’s a process that can take several months and requires meticulous care, making the malleefowl parents some of the most dedicated. Their breeding season is between September and January, and use the same malleefowl mounds for multiple seasons. Malleefowl chicks often hatch from November to January. Mallee is a type of bushland found in parts of Victoria and South Australia. It’s made up of scraggly, multi-stemmed eucalyptus trees that are very tough and can survive in dry, harsh conditions.
