Warrandyte Suburb Overview

Warrandyte is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 24 km north-east from Melbourne’s Central Business District. Its Local Government Area is the City of Manningham. At the 2011 Census, Warrandyte had a population of 5,520.

Warrandyte is bounded in the west by the Mullum Mullum Creek and Target Road, in the north by the Yarra River, in the east by Jumping Creek and Anzac Road, and in the south by an irregular line from Reynolds Road, north of Donvale, Park Orchards and Warrandyte South.

Warrandyte was founded as a Victorian town, located in the once gold -rich rolling hills east of Melbourne, and is now on the north-eastern boundary of suburban Melbourne. Gold was first discovered in the town in 1851 and together, with towns like Bendigo and Ballarat, led the way in gold discoveries during the Victorian gold rush. Today Warrandyte retains much of its past in its surviving buildings of the Colonial period and remains a twin community with North Warrandyte, which borders the Yarra River to its north.

In Australian Aboriginal mythology, a Wurundjeri dreamtime story tells of a great eagle;the all powerful, ever watchful creator of the world”, named Bunjil, who “once gazed down upon his people from the star Altair and saw their wrong doing. Awaiting their return, with a mighty crash of thunder, he hurled down a star to destroy them”. Where the star struck created a gorge in which much of the town today is located. Bunjil’s people remembered the spot, and referred to it as Warrandyte, speculated to mean “that which is thrown”.

In 1851, gold was first discovered in Victoria, in Warrandyte, at Anderson’s Creek, by Louis Michel, the approximate location of the site is marked by a cairn on Fourth Hill, in the Warrandyte State Park. This marked the start of the Victorian gold rush, however, more substantial discoveries in the Ballarat and Bendigo region initially drew prospectors away from Warrandyte. While some mining did occur in the area throughout the peak of the gold rush, it wasn’t until the late 19th century, after gold discoveries reduced in the more popular regions, that the area around Warrandyte was intensively mined, particularly around Fourth Hill and Whipstick Gully. Some areas continued to be mined up until the 1960s. Warrandyte Post Office opened on 1 August 1857.

In the early 20th century, Warrandyte became a popular destination for artists of the Heidelberg School, who sought subject matter further into the bush. This led to the development of an artists camp and small colony. Though not as substantial as the older colonies at Heidelberg and Box Hill, several artists, such as Clara Southern and Walter Withers, who were associated with the Heidelberg School, took up residence in Warrandyte. Others followed, including Penleigh Boyd, Harold Herbert and Jo Sweatman.

Major bushfires have swept through Warrandyte throughout history, and the town was at the centre of the Black Friday bushfires in 1939, in which 71 people lost their lives. Many examples of colonial architecture have been destroyed by bushfires, however, there are still a few original buildings that survive to this day. Recent fuel reduction burns by Parks Victoria have contributed to the town being well prepared if a major fire does take hold in the area. Warrandyte residents are constantly aware of the risk bushfires pose to the area and most are well prepared, with evacuation plans and bushfire preparations. As well, the Black Saturday fires in Kinglake were 15 minutes away from North Warrandyte, in 2009. Major bushfires to have swept through Warrandyte include

Warrandyte is situated on the southern banks of the Yarra River. The river and hills surrounding the town were once rich in gold and the ruins of mineshafts and tunnels can be found throughout the Warrandyte State Park, amongst other locations. While the central town itself is nestled into a gorge on the river, the suburb covers a reasonably large area of land and can be divided up into the following sections

Central Warrandyte comprises the main street of Ringwood-Warrandyte Road and Heidelberg-Warrandyte Road, Pound Bend and the southern banks of the Yarra River. This is sometimes referred to as central Warrandyte, or the “town”, in contrast to the suburbs extending to the south and west.

Andersons Creek flows from neighbouring South Warrandyte and Warranwood into the Yarra just before the beginning of Pound Bend. This area is where several gullies converge and create a geographical hole, with Fourth Hill to the east and the hills on the eastern banks of the Mullum Mullum Creek to the west. This becomes evident when driving through Warrandyte on Heidelberg-Warrandyte Road, as the hills guide the road down towards Andersons Creek.

The Eastern banks of the Mullum Mullum Creek were home to vast orchards overflowing from neighbouring East Doncaster and as a result, much of the vegetation has been cleared. Today the area is covered in large residential properties due to local council regulations allowing land to be subdivided into larger sites. Further south from here, Aumann’s Orchard can be found, one of the last surviving operational orchards in the area.
