Sunbury

Jacksons Creek defines the setting of Sunbury — its valley runs through the north-western Melbourne township, creating a green corridor of reserves and walking tracks amid suburban streets. The town stands on the Victorian Volcanic Plain, where basalt-derived country and open grasslands form a marked contrast with the creek banks. Sunbury is closely associated with Rupertswood, the 19th-century mansion where England’s cricketers were presented with the small urn that became the enduring symbol of The Ashes in 1882. Rail links and growing residential areas connect this long-established town with metropolitan Melbourne while retaining its distinct local centre.
