The land around Drysdale was fertile and the location was considered to be healthy.<\/p>\n
Settlement was relatively dense, and in 1853 a Road District was created for all the coastal area between Geelong and Portarlington and the Road Board\u2019s office (1856) was built in Drysdale.<\/p>\n
Until the 1950s, Drysdale was primarily an agricultural township with amenities that included a bowling green, croquet lawn, churches and a shire hall. Beyond the old shire office there is the former Drysdale Railway Station at the junction of the Bellarine rail trail and the start of the tourist railway to Queenscliff.<\/p>\n
