Ferntree Gully, Administrative division in City of Knox, Australia
Ferntree Gully is a residential area east of Melbourne with wide, quiet streets and typical Australian homes. You will find shopping centers, schools, and medical facilities that serve the everyday needs of the community.
The Wurundjeri Aboriginal People lived here long before Europeans arrived in the 1880s and established a settlement with shops, hotels, and a railway line. That early railway was the start of the modern connection to the rest of the city.
The Ambleside Homestead from the 1890s shows how early residents lived and worked in the area. The Knox Historical Society keeps objects and stories from that period for visitors to discover.
The Belgrave railway line and several bus routes connect this place to Melbourne, making it easy to reach. You should know that it is busier during the day, while early mornings and evenings are quieter.
A volunteer fire brigade, the Country Fire Authority, has operated here since 1942 and responds to fires and emergencies in the area. These volunteers remain an important part of local safety and community life.
