Tarneit
Tarneit is a rural-urban fringe suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 25 km west of Melbourne's Central Business District. Its local government area is the City of Wyndham. At the 2011 Census, Tarneit had a population of 21,690.
Settlement of the area dates to the 1830s when Tarneit was used as agricultural grazing land. Tarneit was named when it was surveyed in 1839 - 1840 and comes from the Wathaurong word for the colour white. The road network was largely planned in a square mile grid pattern and still forms the basis of the arterial road network today. Large scale residential subdivision did not begin until the 1990s.
