Gembrook is a rural town settled into the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges. The town is known for being the final destination for the iconic Puffing Billy it also boasts a strong farming background.
Gembrook was settled in 1873 for farming and timber. The surrounding countryside was suitable for both dairy and orchards. Timber provided income while farms were established. The name Gembrook came from the small gems that were found in small creeks and watercourses in the surrounding area.
With the opening of the railway that we now know as Puffing Billy, Gembrook recieved a boom in tourism, resulting in the town not needing to rely so much on the income that farming and produce provides.
