Woods Point Petrol Station 

Mansfield-Woods Point Road Woods Point Victoria

This renowned little fuel stop harks back to Woods Point’s hey-day.

The tiny, original timber building was once a functioning petrol station and bore witness to the gold-mining fever of the 19th century.

By the mid 1860's there were about 50 functioning mines around Woods Point, plus some 30 hotels, a police station, a hospital, a chemist, six banks, dancing saloons, a newspaper and various other businesses.

Today the town is home to a permanent population of less than 30, but relics of the by-gone era abound and a visit to Woods Point is a living history lesson. Call in to the Wood's Point Store whilst in town.
