Sandringham- Melbourne
Sandringham is a suburb in Melbourne,
Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of
Bayside. At the 2006 census, Sandringham had a population of 8693.
Sandringham is one of Melbourne's more prestigious bayside suburbs.
Located beside Port Phillip Bay at the end of the Sandringham
Railway Line, Sandringham is a popular location for beachgoers and
has a quaint village atmosphere with a number of cafes and gourmet
food and drink outlets. There is a popular coast walk that is
attractive to residents and visitors alike. The Sandringham Yacht
Club is host to a number of Sydney Hobart yacht race winners.
With the Port Phillip Bay beachfront forming the western boundary
and with a ring of golf courses and parkland to the south and east,
Sandringham is a virtual island suburb 15km south of the Melbourne
CBD.
The signature Melbourne sand-belt golf courses lying virtually
within a Tiger Woods drive of this desirable suburb include Kingston
Heath, Yarra Yarra, Huntingdale, Metropolitan, Sandringham, Victoria
and Royal Melbourne.
The sea front embraces safe swimming beaches and picnic spots and
you will be tempted to dangle a fishing line from the HMVS Cerebus
breakwater which marks the southern reach of Sandringham’s Half Moon
Bay.
Scot Tom Humphrey's early 20th century painting of Half Moon Bay is
one of the works included on the Bayside City Council's Coastal Art
Trail which traces the footsteps and brush work of the parade of
distinguished artists who found repeated inspiration on the
foreshores of Port Phillip Bay.
Sandringham is also flanked by main rail and major arterial roads
presenting direct access to the city, to the Mornington Peninsula,
the Dandenong Ranges and Gippsland.
Sandringham is home to a number of notable Victorian identities,
ranging from football players to those who have held posts of high
public prominence. Property ranges from grand Beach Road residences
to the equally prestigious properties found in the many tree lined
streets making Sandringham one of Melbourne's most expensive
suburbs.
The suburb once had a large coffee palace overlooking the beach, the
Sandringham Hotel, which was re-developed in the 1960s. The main
streets are still home to some remaining elegant old buildings,
including the old railway station.
Sandringham is home to Sandringham Primary School, opened in 1855,
and one of the oldest schools in Victoria, if not the country.
Sports
The suburb is home to the Sandringham Football Club, known as the
'Zebras', currently one of the more successful clubs in the
Victorian Football League. Celebrity Rex Hunt played for Sandringham
in 1980 and 1981. Many players from the Sandringham Football Club
have gone on to play in the AFL, these include, Chris Judd, Ted
Richards and others. Sandringham also holds an athletics track which
hosts many school sports days and the 'Little aths' program, it is
also next to Sandringham netball association.
