| The
Society has a number of maps, early sub-division plans
and aerial photographs of the district. Many of the
streets in the Waverley area originate from our early
pioneers, while the name "Waverley" and some
particular streets relate back to Walter Scott's Waverley
novels. If you are searching for the locality: Amstel,
Ashwood, Black Flat, Burwood, Chadstone, Clayton North,
Glen Waverley, Jordanville, Mount Waverley, Mulgrave,
Notting Hill, Pinewood, Springvale North, Syndal, Talbot
Colony, Tally Ho, Waverley Park, Wellington or
Wheelers Hill, then maybe we have the information
you seek. You can search the origin of street names in
the Waverley area by accessing our on-line database. (If
you can add to the information we would welcome your
contributions).
