History[edit]

Terang Church

The semi-nomadic Kirrae Wuurong clans originally inhabited the area between Mount Emu Creek and the Hopkins River, and much of their language was recorded by a Scottish squatter, James Dawson.[5]

The first dwelling in the township area was built in 1840 by Donald McNicol, and consisted of a slab hut on the east bank of Lake Terang.[6] The township was developed in the late 1850s, the post office opening on 1 March 1859.[7]

The railway though the town was opened in 1887.[8] From 1890 it was extended as part of Victoria's south-western line. The Mortlake line once branched from the town, opened in 1893 and closed in 1978. The local railway station is served by V/Line passenger services on the Warrnambool line.

The Terang Magistrates' Court closed on 1 January 1983.[9]

Avenues of trees were planted in the 19th century and several of these are now under the protection of the National Trust.[citation needed] A Heritage Trail walk points out the historic trees and many of the historic buildings and sights of the town.

In 1933, while dry, the peat bed began burning but became a shallow lake by the 1940s. The lake was drained in the 1960s[10] and the dried out lake floor is now used as a recreation area, for agriculture and as part of the Terang Golf Course.[11][12]

Lake Keilambete[edit]

Terang has a horse racing club, the Terang & District Racing Club, which schedules around eight race meetings a year including the Terang Cup meeting in October.[15]

Terang Harness Racing Club conducts regular meetings at its racetrack in the town.[16]

Golfers play on the 18-hole golf course at the Terang Golf Club on High Street at the western entrance to the town.[17]
