Leonards Hill is a town located in the Shire of Hepburn, Victoria, Australia.
South of Daylesford on the Ballan road, the town takes its name from timber splitter, W P Leonard who took up 143 acres of land on the hill in the 1860's.[1] The Leonards Hill railway station was a stage of the Daylesford to North Creswick line until services were withdrawn in July 1953. The rails remained in place until 1959 but no further scheduled trains ran on them.[2] The town has been chosen as the location for an approved wind farm.[3]
