Glenrowan is a closed station located in the town of Glenrowan, on the North East line in Victoria, Australia.[1] The station is located at the highest point of the line north of Seymour, with grades of 1 in 75 in both directions.[2] In June 1880, the station was the site of what became the last stand of Ned Kelly and his gang, with a monument located at the station today.[3]
