Pentland Hills
What Pentland Hills needs from a system.
Pentland Hills is a rural locality about 90 kilometres west of Melbourne, on the main road corridor to Ballarat. Its name was used for the post office that opened in 1858, which was renamed Myrniong in 1872, and the name has stuck to the district around it.
It is farming country with a modest population, close enough to Bacchus Marsh and Ballan for services. The decision is mostly about the loads on the farm and how much of the roof or the ground to use.
