Toorak Gardens, South Australia
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Toorak Gardens is an inner eastern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. Originally farmland owned by the Fergusson and Prescott families in the 19th century, it was subdivided and gained popularity in 1920s. It contains the Burnside War Memorial Hospital, which was converted from a grand mansion in 1949, it remains Burnside's only local community hospital. Prior to European settlement, the area was heavily forested. Blue Gum and River Gum trees grew on the floodplains around First and Second creeks. Grey box woodlands, known to early settlers as the 'black forest' grew around and south of Greenhill Road. Native Australia flora and fauna inhabited the plains. With the advent of colonisation, much of the forest was cleared and replaced by farmland, on which wheat and barley were grown. First Creek provided a reliable source of water, and crops flourished. At this point in the late 19th century the area that today composes Toorak Gardens was almost completely free of native vegetation. When the land was sold and subdivided, with streets beginning to run through it, lush gardens were grown. The wealthy first white inhabitants, both of their own preference, and under duty from the land deed, put much effort into the suburb's greenery.
