Town in Victoria, Australia
Kinglake West is a town in Victoria , Australia , 45 km (28 mi ) north-east of Melbourne's Central Business District , located within the City of Whittlesea and the Shires of Murrindindi and Nillumbik local government areas . Kinglake West recorded a population of 1,305 at the 2021 census .[2]
The town was substantially damaged in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires , including 10 fatalities.[3]
History [ edit ]
Kinglake West is situated north-east of Whittlesea in the Kinglake Ranges, part of the Great Dividing Range . Only Kinglake West is in the City of Whittlesea. The area was named after the surveyor Alexander Kinglake , who marked out a track over the ranges in 1878.[4]
Gold was first discovered in the area in 1861. The area was later cleared for timber and farming. Timber milling had a relatively long life. There were tramways for transporting timber from the Kinglake area to the Whittlesea railway station (1911–26). Some mill workers also took up farming as the mills closed.[4]
The deep soil yielded good crops of stone fruit, some fruit and berries. Due to competition from Tasmania , there was a decline in berry farming. By the 1940s, the predominant crop in the area was potatoes.[4]
Kinglake West Post Office opened around 1902 and was destroyed by fire on 7 February 2009 .[5]
Kinglake West 'Prisoner of War' Camp [ edit ]
Soon after the outbreak of war in February 1940, 14,000 Victorians were registered as 'aliens'. With the escalation of the war, 343 of these were interned.[6]
Population [ edit ]
In the 2016 census , there were 1,166 people in Kinglake West. 79.9% of people were born in Australia and 85.3% of people spoke only English at home. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 39.2% and Catholic 23.2%.[7]
