The Buninyong Line (also known as "Bunny Hop Line", or simply "The Bunny") was a Victorian Railways (Australia) branch line, which ran south from Ballarat to the nearby town of Buninyong. The line branched from the main Melbourne – Ballarat railway at Ballarat East station and was 11 km long.[1] The line was opened on 11 September 1889, with traffic commencing the following day.
Passenger services on the line ceased in November 1930, and the section from Eureka to Buninyong was closed on 2 February 1947, leaving only a short branch to Eureka, which closed on 1 December 1986.[2]
