Tullamarine

Tullamarine is a residential suburb in northern Melbourne with housing areas, parks, and commercial zones. The district features a mix of homes, green spaces, and local shopping facilities across its neighborhoods.

The name comes from Tullamareena, a Wurundjeri person. The area transformed from farmland to suburban housing following Melbourne Airport's opening in the 1960s.

Local sports clubs for football, cricket, and netball shape community life here throughout the year. These teams serve as gathering places where neighbors regularly connect.

The area connects to Melbourne's center via the Tullamarine Freeway with several bus routes available. These public transport links reach train stations at Essendon and Broadmeadows.

The suburb spans three municipal boundaries: Merri-bek, Brimbank, and Hume. This unusual arrangement makes it an interesting case in how local government areas overlap.
