Quality and privacy in a parkside setting...
Discreetly positioned on the ground floor of a superbly-finished boutique development beside South Surrey Park, this as new, 3 bedroom double storey apartment is further enhanced by quality customised inclusions such as superior soft furnishings and window treatments, stylish security doors, bespoke garden furniture and handcrafted solid steel security gate and interior balustrading.
An Art Deco-inspired façade has impressive street appeal and the theme continues inside to the wide foyer with double-height ceilings at either end and a timber open-tread staircase leading to the basement car parks and storage cage. A small entry hall leads to a gracious formal sitting room with high ceilings and double doors opening to a private, north-facing return courtyard with a pergola and gate access to the park. The sun-drenched casual living and dining area has elegant highlight windows on 2 walls with leafy outlooks and laminated glass for climate comfort.
The sleek kitchen features granite benchtops, seraphic glass splashbacks and Blanco stainless steel appliances. A guest powder room and Euro laundry complete the ground floorplan. Upstairs, 2 robed bedrooms with leafy outlooks share a stylish bathroom with a vessel-style vanity and separate bath and shower. The tranquil main bedroom has fitted walk-in robes and a generous en-suite with an over-sized shower, stone benchtop and vessel-style vanity.
In a leafy, well-regarded location just metres from tram stops and Through Road Village shops and cafes, a choice of parkland, playgrounds, kinder and schools, this beautifully-presented home is moments from private schools, Wattle Park, Camberwell Junction and Maling Road shopping.

Camberwell Junction
Camberwell Junction (1975) made by Ivan Gaal, is a film of three parts. Still photographs of 'past...definite' are accompanied by sounds of horses hooves. 'Present...indicative' shows speeded up traffic during the day and night, making it difficult for people to cross the roads. 'Future...indefinite' poses a question mark.
Camberwell Junction (1975) is just one of the many films that we are digitising. Discover more about the process on our website.

Metro Trains Melbourne: Camberwell - Box Hill on a Comeng
In this video we take a ride on a Metro Trains Melbourne Comeng EMU from Camberwell to Box Hill on the Belgrave/Lilydale lines, stopping all stations. This section of the line has a third track between Burnley and Box Hill, allowing express trains to overtake slower stopping all station trains during peak hours. We ride on the third track as we pass citybound express and stopping trains. We also pass the level crossings at Union Road (Surrey Hills) and Mont Albert Road (Mont Albert), both of which are due to be grade separated in coming years.
Once a fairly common sight it's now quite rare for a Comeng EMU to run on the Belgrave/Lilydale lines thanks to the roll out of more modern X'trapolis 100 EMU's.

Riversdale Rd Level Crossing, Camberwell
This is the Riversdale Rd level crossing in Camberwell, on the Alamein line, with footage I took in October 2016, and November and December 2017.
Riversdale road is one of three tram squares in Melbourne (the others being Glenferrie Rd in Kooyong/Toorak and Glenhuntly Rd in Glen Huntly). Tram squares are crossings where train and tram tracks and overhead wires intersect. Trams use different voltage to trains, so whenever a train travels through the crossing the current for the overhead wires has to be switched from 600v (suitable for trams) to 1500v (suitable for trains) and then switched back once the train has passed through. As a result, the crossing has to be manually operated by a signalman in a signal-box next to the crossing, who has to change the voltage and activate the crossing whenever a train approaches, as well as change signals for each train to stop and go through the crossing. Trains are also speed restricted to 30km/h at this crossing
You can hear lots of clunking coming from the signalbox, in the footage. This is the workings of the lever frame the signalman has to manage to change the voltage and signals, and activate the crossing. You can hear a 'ding' at 5.22 and 16:04 in the footage, to indicate when a train in pulling in to Riversdale station heading towards Alamein, alerting the signalman of when to change the voltage
This crossing has:
- Four Barker Technic's e-bells, each positioned on each corner of the crossing. Unfortunately, the bells on the south east and south western signals of the crossing don't work. The other two bells on the north east and north western signals DO work, and are programmed to sound continuously until the boom gates rise. We can assume the dead bells were programmed the same way. At this crossing, the pedestrian gate alarms are actually louder than the crossing bells
- Westinghouse cross-arms. The cross-arm on the north western boom gate mechanism is bolted upside down
- Marked Westinghouse lights on the south western signal, north eastern signal, and north western boom gate mechanism facing west, one marked and one unmarked Westinghouse light on the south eastern boom gate mechanism facing east, and Harmon lights on the south eastern boom gate mechanism facing west and on the north western boom gate mechanism facing east.
- Safetran boom gate mechanisms with unmarked bases. Each boom gate arm has a folding mechanism at the tip, which extends when the boom gates lower and retracts when the boom gates rise. This is to prevent the arm from contacting with the overhead tram wires
This crossing used to have four boom gate mechanisms, one on each corner. The boom gates on the north east and south western corners of the crossing were programmed to lower after the boom gates on the north west and south eastern corners lowered, I assume this was a safety measure to prevent cars from travelling across the crossing when the boom gates are activated. They were removed sometime around 1993-1994 (thanks Comengkai Transport for that info). I believe this was the only example of a level crossing in Victoria to have four boom gate mechanisms for single lanes of traffic. The individual signals on the north east and south western sides of the crossing still have wide concrete bases to accommodate the boom gates which once stood in their place.
There is footage on YouTube of the crossing in 1991 when it had four boom gate mechanisms, black and white boom gate arms, different sounding bells (it looks like this crossing had a Westinghouse hybrid bell on the south western boom gate mechanism, but it doesn't sound in the footage) and no traffic lights
On the Alamein line, trains in non-peak periods use three car X'Trapolis sets which only travel as far as Camberwell station, where passengers must change trains in order to get to Flinders Street station. During peak times, six car X'Trapolis sets are used, and trains travel direct to Flinders Street station.
LEAFY EXCLUSIVE MELBOURNE SUBURB OF Mont Albert Surrey Hills suburb profile 2013
SURREY HILLS:
Surrey Hills is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 11 km east of Melbourne's Central Business District.[2] Its local government area are the Cities of Boroondara and Whitehorse. At the 2011 Census, Surrey Hills had a population of 13,133.
Surrey Hills is a classic leafy eastern suburb,situated eleven kilometers from the city. It was settled in the late 19th century and evolved with slightly smaller blocks and slightly simpler housing than its neighbor Canterbury. [3]
Most of Surrey Hills' streets are lined with now-mature European trees, mostly plane and pin oak, that create the much-lauded leafy look that took nearly a century to achieve.
It is bordered by Elgar Road in the east, Riversdale Road in the south, Union Road in the west and Maroondah Highway in the north. The hills in the suburb's name are most obvious near the corner of Canterbury and Elgar roads, which is also the site of the local water storage reservoir.History[edit]
The Surrey Hills area was acquired from the Crown by Henry Elgar, as part of his Special Survey purchase in 1841.
The Surrey Hills area was first developed by a Real Estate consortia, following the extension of the railway line from Camberwell to Lilydale in 1882. Surrey Hills Post Office opened on 1 October 1884.[4] Housing estates were laid out and lovely period homes built in either brick or weatherboard, with most designs being influenced by the Victorian, Federation and Edwardian era. The streets were planted mainly with avenues of Pin Oak and Plane trees, which are now mature and offer a pleasant shady vista. The streets have impressive names such as Empress, Kingston, Surrey, Balmoral, Leopold, Windsor, Albert and Wolseley, but the area was considered too distant from the nearest shopping districts; Camberwell to the west and Box Hill to the east. The economic depression of the 1890s brought development to a halt and the next major phase of suburban development didn't take place until after the First World War.
During the 1990s, the last bank branch in the Union Road shopping strip closed, which caused some concern within both the local community and local traders. On 24 February 2003, the Surrey Hills Community Bank (a community bank branch of Bendigo Bank) opened for business in Union Road.
Today[edit]
Surrey Hills contains both the 'English Counties District', which is a small area between Canterbury and Riversdale Roads, where the streets are named after English Counties, including Norfolk, Durham, Kent, Middlesex, Essex and Suffolk Roads and the 'Chatham Precinct', which is located between Canterbury, Union, Mont Albert & Chatham Roads. The latter streets are named after English places (Croydon, Guildford & Surrey) and Sir Garnet Road, named in honour of a famous British Army General (Garnet Wolseley, 1st Viscount Wolseley, born in Ireland, who served a distinguished career and became a hero in the British army in the late 1800s & early 1900).
To the north, Surrey Hills is also serviced by the route 109 tram, which continues from Port Melbourne, along Collins Street (Melb.CBD), along Whitehorse Rd, to Box Hill and in the south, the route 70 tram travels along Riversdale Road from the city to the Wattle Park terminus at the Elgar Road junction.
Canterbury Sports Ground is located in the north-west of the suburb and boasts 3 sporting clubs. It has clubrooms, with a canteen and is the home ground of the Australian Rules Football club, Canterbury 'Cobras', who currently compete in the Eastern Football League,[5] as well as the Canterbury Cricket Club, which plays on a turf wicket and Canterbury Tennis Club, which has its own clubhouse and 4 en-tou-cas courts.
MONT ALBERT:
Mont Albert is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 12 km east of Melbourne's Central Business District.[2] Its local government area are the Cities of Boroondara and Whitehorse. At the 2011 Census, Mont Albert had a population of 4,954.
The main shopping centre of Mont Albert is Hamilton Street, a small street lined with shops. The suburb has its own railway station.
Camberwell Suburb Profile
Period homes and tree lined streets are just two reasons why Camberwell is so popular. Plenty of transport, extensive shopping options and trendy cafes and bars means there's always something to do close by.

The suburb has 2 local primary schools; Surrey Hills Primary & Chatham Primary School. Surrey Hills' Central Business District is relatively small, consisting of a 300 metre strip of shops along Union Road.
The neighbourhood centre features Surrey Hills railway station (on the Belgrave and Lilydale railway lines). Heading out from Melbourne's CBD, Union Road is the first railway level crossing on the Belgrave/Lilydale train line. Surrey Hills also has Chatham railway station, north of Canterbury Road, between Stanley Terrace and Junction Road. Chatham Station can be accessed from the north by laneways between houses, beginning near the Mont Albert Road General Store, then continuing south along the Canterbury Sports Ground pathway. Most working residents of Surrey Hills commute to Melbourne either by CAR or train. To reach a safe bicycle path for the city commute, cyclists must travel south to the Gardiners Creek Trail or north to the Yarra River Trail, via the Outer Circle Trail. A bike lane is located on Mont Albert Road.
To the north, Surrey Hills is also serviced by the route 109 tram, which continues from Port Melbourne, along Collins Street (Melb.CBD), along Whitehorse Rd, to Box Hill and in the south, the route 70 tram travels along Riversdale Road from the city to the Wattle Park terminus at the Elgar Road junction.
Parks and gardens[edit]

4K - The Train and Tram Square at Riversdale Station - Yarra Trams Metro Trains Melbourne
English - Riversdale Tram and Rail Square is one of the three active square across the Yarra Trams and Metro Trains Melbourne Rail Network. The other two are at Kooyong Station and Glenhuntly Station.
The Riversdale Rail Square is located on the Metro Trains Melbourne suburban Alamein line and the Yarra Trams Route 70 Wattle Park to Docklands.
There is a signal box located next to the Railway Line and the signaler switches power between the trains and the trams overhead depending on which mode of transport is running through the rail square.
Metro Trains use Alstom Xtrapolis Electric Trains on the Alamein Line and Yarra Trams Route 70 runs a mix of Comeng A Class and Comeng / ABB B2 Class Trams.
Here you will see tram driver views at the start as the tram runs through the square and line side views of both trains and trams from Riversdale Road and the Riversdale Railway Station Platform.
