Moyston
Tiny village in the Grampians
Located 239 km north-west of Melbourne, Moyston is 21 km south-east of Pomonal on the road to Ararat which is 15 km east of Moyston. The first Europeans to traverse the area were the exploratory party of Thomas Mitchell in 1836 who camped near the present-day site of Pomonal before climbing Mt William.
The solitary pine tree in the town's Avenue of Honour marks the site of the Campbell's Reef graveyard. There is an old bluestone church and the Moyston general store displays local crafts and has a list of local accommodation. The only accommodation in town is Crochan Bed & Breakfast on Moyston Rd, tel: (03) 5352 4797.
