Addington, VIC 3352
Overview
Addington sits at the junction of Langi Kal‑Kal Road and Edmonston Road, about 28 kilometres north‑west of Ballarat in Victoria. The town grew from an agricultural settlement that clustered around the historic Addington railway station, giving residents easy access to regional transport routes. Its rural setting and proximity to Ballarat provide a quiet lifestyle while remaining within commuting distance to the larger city.
Local facilities include a state school that has served the community since 1860, originally opened as Ercildoune and renamed Addington around 1900. Though the Mount Bolton Post Office, later renamed Addington, closed in 1967, the town retains a strong sense of history, highlighted by an Avenue of Honour planted on 7 June 1917 to commemorate residents who served in World War I. This blend of heritage and agricultural roots gives Addington a close‑knit, historic charm for its residents.
