Toorak, Victoria 3142
Toorak is a residential area 5 km south-east of Melbourne's CBD.
The suburb name is derived from Toorak House, a residence built by James Jackson, a merchant, in 1849. The word may have been derived from Aboriginal words of similar pronunciation meaning reedy swamp or black crow.
Easily accessible, you can catch a number 8 tram from the city up Toorak Road where some refer to the iconic Toorak Village as the 'Rodeo Drive' of Australia.
