Panorama of the train station and grain silos at Goyura, Victoria, Australia. Proclaimed in 1889 Goyura was a small township north of Warracknabeal with an estimated population of 250 between 1887 to the late 1950s. Goyura was the first officially gazetted township in the former Karkarooc Shire. Nowadays only 3 large grain silos and a memorial marker remind of the former pioneer township.
