CARISBROOK
Carisbrook is a rural township on the Pyrenees Highway and the Castlemaine to Maryborough railway line, 7 km east of Maryborough. It also intersects with local roads to Talbot and Eddington, and is on the Tullaroop Creek.
Carisbrook’s name allegedly came from ‘Carrie’s Brook’, named after Caroline Bucknall, the daughter of E.G. Bucknall, an early local pastoralist. However, before the town was surveyed in 1851 there was a police camp and lock up named Camp Carisbrook, implying that the name could have had another origin.
Carisbrook is home to a harness racing track, sports oval and reserve, tennis courts, bowling greens, a hotel, Anglican, Catholic, Presbyterian and Uniting churches, a weekly newspaper (The Mercury) and a well attended school. The railway station and goods shed are no longer used. A log police lock up (c1852) is on the Register of the National Estate. Junction Lodge (c1873) and a pastoral homestead are also on the Register.
Carisbrook is notable for being the birth place of Tilly Aston (1873-1947), blind writer and teacher.
