See comment 2 under GRANTEES NEAR RED HILL.

There were many meetings of Railway Leagues to discuss ways of persuading the Government to come to the party.
Trove is a digitised record produced by the National Library of Australia and I bless the family historian who alerted me to it while we were discussing local history in the local history room at Rosebud Library.I have mainly used the digitised newspapers, a goldmine of local history and genealogical information.

If you have never used trove, you could discover the importance of railways to the peninsula by reading the article about the re-formation of the railway league at Red Hill. On a miserable night almost 50 people ventured out to a meeting in the barn at H.P.Davey's "Forest Lodge" at Red Hill.
The meeting is reported on page 3 of the Mornington Standard of 29-6-1899.

If you get onto trove and enter "Red Hill, railway", you'll get 557 600 or so entries, which might take a few years to wade through. I added 1899. I was asked "Did you mean Red Hill, railway with an issue date of 1899?" As soon as I clicked the question, the first two entries were spot on. The first was about a meeting a week earlier, which described the state of the roads, and the second was the Forest Lodge meeting.

Trove is a great way to find things you aren't looking for. While I was investigating DAVEY re Red Hill Pioneers, I discovered that Dr Hearn of Heronswood owned the 1009 acres south of Sandy Rd and west of Truemans Rd.
