Rocklyn was a railway station on the Ballarat to Daylesford railway line in Victoria, Australia.[1]
On Boxing Day in 1914 the station was subject to a "sensational shooting incident" wherein a group of three young men, who had been shooting at a church bell and grown bored of the target, opened fire on a passing train, and very nearly killed the guard.[2]
