General Information:
C136 is suburban route in the western Geelong area, southwest of Melbourne and is a mix of suburban arterial road and rural road, that services, residential, commercial, industrial and rural areas.
Shannon Avenue, earlier known as the West Melbourne Road, developed as an important transport route in the mid 19th century. Land subdivisions ensued, including further subdivisions in the early 20th century. These subdivisions, together with the arrival of the tram line in 1912 that terminated at the intersection of Aphrasia Street and Shannon Avenue, appear to have been the impetus for residential growth in the area during the Federation and interwar eras. 2
