Carrum
Tucked along the eastern shore of Port Phillip, Carrum is a place whose character is shaped by its low-lying coastal plain. It forms part of Melbourne’s bayside suburbs, where the Patterson River reaches Port Phillip near a long stretch of foreshore. The river links the bay with inland waterways and the former wetlands of Melbourne’s southeast. Its banks and the adjacent coast support boating, walking and cycling, while Carrum Beach is a well-used part of the bay shoreline. Carrum stands on the traditional Country of the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation, whose connection with this coast long predates the suburb. The Frankston railway line serves the area at Carrum station, linking this waterside community with Melbourne’s southern corridor.

Among Australia’s regions, Victoria stands out for the remarkable variety packed between the Murray River and Bass Strait. The state combines fertile northern plains, the Central Victorian Goldfields, the forested Great Dividing Range and a long southern coast. Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland.
