Mooroolbark, Administrative division in Shire of Yarra Ranges, Australia
The eastern Melbourne suburb of Mooroolbark spans across residential areas with numerous parks, local businesses, and educational facilities at coordinates 145.3257° E, -37.7813° S.
Established during the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s, Mooroolbark received its railway station in 1887, leading to increased settlement and development of the area.
The name Mooroolbark derives from Aboriginal language, with interpretations including 'red earth' and 'the place where the wide waters meet'.
The suburb contains multiple schools, a 24-hour police station, shopping districts along Brice Avenue and Manchester Road, and regular train services to Melbourne.
From 1980 to 2001, the Red Earth Festival brought together residents with parades and markets, evolving into the current Celebrate Mooroolbark festival.
