History

[edit]

The Post Office opened around 1909. An earlier office (1884) named Wandin North was renamed Seville.[2] There are two operational schools in Wandin North and the original of these schools is Wandin Yallock Primary School which was established in 1870.[3] It is nestled amongst orchards and general farming land in the picturesque Yarra Valley. The Wandin North Primary School opened in 1915 and in 2016 had 240 students.[4]

Railway

[edit]

Wandin North used to have a railway station, simply called Wandin. It was on the branch line to Warburton, which opened in 1901 and closed in 1965. The passenger platform remains, having been rebuilt.[5] The railway reserve for the former line is now the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail.
