Carrum
Carrum occupies a low-lying coastal plain on the eastern shore of Port Phillip in Victoria. The Patterson River meets the bay here, providing a waterway between Melbourne’s inland suburbs and the coast. Carrum developed around the railway corridor that now forms part of Melbourne’s Frankston line, while established residential streets extend behind the foreshore. The suburb stands on the traditional Country of the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. Beaches and coastal reserves along Port Phillip give Carrum a clear bayside identity, while the river, rail line and roads connect it closely with Melbourne’s south-east.

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.
