History

Settlement of the area dates to the 1830s when Tarneit was used as agricultural grazing land. Tarneit was named when it was surveyed in 1839 - 1840 and comes from the Wathaurong word for the colour white. The road network was largely planned in a square mile grid pattern and still forms the basis of the arterial road network today. Large scale residential subdivision did not begin until the 1990s.

Land use

Tarneit is mostly used as agricultural grazing land. However this landscape is rapidly changing due to the urban sprawl coming from nearby suburbs, such as Hoppers Crossing and Werribee, mostly happening in the southern part of Tarneit.

Enough Is Enough

by: Toronto

Been waiting so long, you still haven't phoned
So many sleepless nights spent here all alone
I've had it to here, I'm gonna get my way
Don't try to pass it off, I mean what I say
Went out of your way making sure you had won
Took my love and went, looks like you had your fun
Didn't beat around, stood me up and left town
Took my lifeline away and you still can't be found
Enough is enough I just can't take it no more
Don't take no time to explain, I heard it all before
Enough is enough, I'm sick of being polite
Don't need a promise of love over the telephone
Enough is enough
A phone call will do if you can spare the dime
Don't call collect agai, I'll diconnect the line
Our party of two just got reduced in size
Time for me to go, don't appologize
Enough is enough I just can't take it no more
Don't take no time to explain, I've heard it all before
Enough is enough, I'm sick of being polite
Don't need a promise of love over the telephone
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Been waiting so long, you still haven't phoned

Don't take no time to explain, I've heard it all before
Enough is enough, I'm sick of being polite
Don't need a promise of love over the telephone
Enough is enough, ohhhhh, ohhhhhhhh, yeah
Enough is enough, Oooooh, ooooooooh, well
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
