Upper Ferntree Gully to Gembrook line
pronounced CLEM-aye-tis.

Location:    Melways 127 B3

Originally unnamed (an unofficial stopping place?), then Paradise Valley Stopping Place (10/3/1902), Paradise Valley (21/11/1904), Paradise (1/1/1909) and finally Clematis (1/10/1921). What a pity the name was changed. Imagine being able to buy a ticket to Paradise. However it is not likely to be changed back because Victoria has another location named Paradise. (Which explains the change.)
