The town was surveyed in the 1920s as a village based around the Moriac station on the Port Fairy line, which had been founded to serve the adjacent community of Mount Moriac. The 1920s is sometimes referred to as the " Jazz Age " or the " Roaring Twenties " when speaking about the United States and Canada Moriac is a closed station located in the town of Moriac, on the Warrnambool railway line in Victoria, Australia. The Port Fairy railway line (also known as the South West line) is a railway serving the south west of Victoria, Australia. The railway had opened in 1876, followed by the Wensleydale branch line which left the main line here, which opened in 1890 and closed in 1948. [2] The town was initially slow to develop, but survived the closure of the railway line and grew to house a population of several hundred. Though still heavily rural in nature, the town now largely serves as a satellite village of Geelong, with many residents commuting into the city to work.
The town is home to Moriac Primary School, which has approximately 200 students, a hotel, and a number of shops.
