Nunawading rests on a gentle swell of land, a broad expanse that catches the afternoon light with a soft, diffused glow. It lies 4.7 km south-south-east of Doncaster East, VIC (from Doncaster East, VIC: bearing 164°T), and is situated 7.3 km north of Glen Waverley. The streets here are lined with established gum trees, their rough bark a testament to decades of growth, and the air, particularly after a rain, carries the clean, earthy scent of damp soil and eucalyptus. Suburban houses, a mix of brick and weatherboard, sit comfortably within their gardens, many boasting the vibrant colours of camellias and grevilleas that thrive in this corner of the Australian landscape. The terrain itself is unremarkable in its subtlety, a series of low rises and shallow valleys that lend themselves to an unhurried pace of life, where the distant hum of traffic is a constant, low-frequency presence.
Originally surveyed as part of the broader agricultural ambitions of the Victorian colony, Nunawading’s early economy was tied to the land, with orchards and market gardens dominating the landscape. The railway line, a crucial artery for development, brought with it a shift towards residential growth in the mid-20th century, transforming orchards into housing estates. Today, Nunawading is a vibrant hub for a diverse local economy, with a strong presence in retail, particularly along its main arterial roads, and a growing number of service industries. The area is known for its accessibility, bridging the gap between the inner suburbs and further afield, a characteristic that has shaped its development into a bustling, yet still fundamentally residential, locale.
