History
Warrenbeen Station was part of the early wool industry in the Geelong region, situated on the Shelford Rokewood Road, running merino sheep across 40,000 acres.
The station was part of the land leases of crown land in the early 1800s with a succession of lease holders.
Major WD Mercer held the property from 1842-1846. It was then leased and owned by Major John Bell, resident of Bell Park, Geelong. It was noted in Major Bell's obituary on 29 Jan 1876 that he had owned Warrenbeen station.
The station was later known by the names Warrambine and Warrambeen and is currently in existence as Warrambeen Estate.
