The route explores earlier settlers and diverse settlement: from grand houses and farming to speculative developments and Cawdor Town. A settlement divided by the Yan Yean water pipes, then in 1888 the new Whittlesea railway cut many roads west of High St. West of St Georges Rd was the Merri Creek, flat and flood-prone, though good for farming and livestock. The Merri creek-bed was straightened in 1930s, removing eastern bends (the MCG was famously lined with the rich fertile Merri Creek mud). Eastwards was initially Dr. Peter McArthur’s extensive holdings and ‘Arthurton’ farm. After McArthur's death, Brunswick Gentleman T J Sumner acquired all the land west of St Georges Rd as well. In the mid nineteenth century, the side of the hill had some grand houses with orchards and vineyards. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Keep Moving Project - - - - - - - - - - - - - - U3A Darebin Inc - - - - - - - - - - - - - - www.u3adarebin.com.au Page 1 History Ramble 1 - St Georges Rd / Northcote West Cawdor Town Site Thornbank Residence 1930s Grazing Land Cross Merri Creek 1 Methodist Church Speculative Housing Albion Pub Joinery 100 m 500 ft Map Data © OpenStreetMap Contributors ¯148 ft _112 ft 1 Page 2 START ON MERRI PDE BESIDE MERRI CREEK - ON BIKE PATH OPPOSITE SOUTH PARK ST Whittlesea Railway Bridge crossing the Merri Creek (1889) & Proposed Grand Junction Station.
