All About Glen Iris

Glen Iris is a residential suburb 10 km southeast of central Melbourne. To its north is Camberwell and to its west is Malvern, and Glen Iris was in each of those two former municipalities. Its situation remained the same as the creation of the amalgamated municipalities of Boroondara and Stonnington.

Glen Iris lies on either side of Gardiners Creek. Its name comes from that of a residence built by a solicitor J.C. Turner. He had acquired his land from a settler who had travelled to Victoria on the ship named the Iris.

Glen Iris includes the small locality of Gardiner which, with the creek of the same name, was named after John Gardiner who overlanded stock to Port Phillip from New South Wales in 1836. Gardiner pastured his stock near where Gardiners Creek joins the Yarra River.

Unlike Camberwell, Hartwell and Box Hill which were situated on roads or had inns for travellers, Glen Iris was a place of farms overlooking the Gardiners Creek Valley. The population growth was sufficient, though, for a Methodist church to be built in 1865 and a school in 1872. Both were in Glen Iris Road and continued into the twenty-first century. A general store was opened nearby in 1882, where a small local shopping centre continues to function.
