The town is on the northern foothills of the Blue Ranges, part of the Great Dividing Range, beside Holland Creek, north east of the state capital, Melbourne. At the , Tatong had a population of 350.〔 The area is a mixture of farmland, pine plantations and dense bush ==History== The Post Office opened on 10 October 1890 on the arrival of the railway from Benalla, closing in 1993. Timber from the surrounding hills was harvested to supply the early Melbourne power station until coal from the Latrobe Valley became the favoured fuel source. That together with dwindling patronage of the rail line to Benalla led to the closing of the rail line after World War II. Tatong is the birthplace of Michael Joseph Savage, the first Labour Prime Minister of New Zealand, and Graeme Peck, male lead for the Australian Ballet Company. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tatong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
