History
Kernot was a railway station in Victoria, Australia, built on the Wonthaggi railway line. Not long after the line opened in 1909, the station was equipped with a 10,000-gallon tank and crane and was located within walking distance of the Kernot General Store which closed at the same time as the line did in 1978.
The Kernot Food and Wine Store was established in 1911 and is the main gathering point for Kernot locals.{{cite web |title=Kernot Food & Wine Store |url=https://www.kernotstore.com.au |access-date=13 February 2025 |date=1911}}
