blackburn, victoria

Blackburn is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The origin of the name Blackburn is not certain but may have been after an early settler or James Blackburn who designed Yan Yean reservoir. It lies within the City of Whitehorse in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. A large part of Blackburn is of historical significance as it was built around the artificial Blackburn Lake built in 1889. This was a popular day trip destination by train in the late 19th century. The area is protected by strict planning controls restricting development and has retained a village atmosphere. The major shopping hub of Box Hill is only 2 train stops away, while 3 buses connect Blackburn to Forest Hill. It shares a postcode with Blackburn North and Blackburn South Blackburn contains two railway stations, Laburnum and Blackburn, on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines. Blackburn contains three schools: Laburnum Primary School, Blackburn Primary School and Blackburn High School.
