Diggers Rest — whose name evokes the gold rush era diggers who rested here on the road north — is one of the three small townships that formed the earliest European settlements in the Melton Shire, with around 600 people between Diggers Rest, Rockbank and Toolern Vale by 1900. The township sits on the Melbourne-Bendigo main line and Diggers Rest station is a genuine historic railway village. The area has a semi-rural character that distinguishes it from the newer suburban growth estates of the broader City of Melton, and the Calder Freeway provides direct access to Melbourne’s CBD.
