Indeed it was, just South of the Yarra acording to a reference in front of
me now.  Witness the Cremorne Bridge, over the Yarra, and the Cremorne
Substation nearby, still taking the name.

A couple of other long deceased stations in Melbourne include Botanic
Gardens (between Princess Bridge and Richmond); and Pic-nic (between the
current East Richmond and current Burnley, both then non-existent.)

As you can probably guess, all these were back in the days of the private
operators & steam hauled suburbans.
