Upper Ferntree Gully

Upper Ferntree Gully is a residential suburb in Melbourne's outer east with houses, shops, and green spaces scattered throughout. The area sits between natural reserves and developed neighborhoods that blend together across the landscape.

The area grew from farmland into a residential community during the 1900s as Melbourne expanded outward. Coonara House survives from those early days and shows how the landscape changed over time.

The local community maintains strong sporting traditions through football clubs, cricket teams, and athletic facilities at Kings Park.

A train station serves the area directly while buses connect to nearby neighborhoods and the city center. Walking paths through parks and along streets make it easy to explore the different parts of the suburb.

Gilmour Park holds a water management basin that controls flooding while offering a place for people to spend time outdoors. This blend of practical infrastructure and public space is part of what makes the suburb work.
