Bell Post Hill 3215 |
Bell Post Hill is a residential suburb north-west of Geelong, adjoining the Midland Highway or Ballarat Road.
Its name is thought to have arisen from a look-out post or warning bell on a post which was erected on a prominent rise which has views over the surrounding countryside and out to Corio Bay. The earliest record of the look-out of warning bell was of an event in 1837 which involved conflict with local Aborigines.
The prominent rise became the site of the Morongo homestead, built in 1859. The two storey stone building is on the Register of the National Estate. In 1926 the property became the Presbyterian Morongo Girls' School but because of financial difficulties it was disposed of by the Uniting church in 1996 to the Kardinia International College.
Bell Post Hill has two small neighbourhood shopping areas, a primary school, a reserve with a library and community facilities, and the outlying Myers Reserve with several ovals.
