There have been two towns named Donnybrook in Victoria, the first has been renamed as Kalkallo and the second was previously named as Rocky Waterholes, to be renamed as Donnybrook. The Donnybrook we know today was established in 1840 and was an important coach stop during the gold rush. However, in 1872 it went into decline after the railway line opened.
Located roughly 47km north of Melbourne’s CBD, Donnybrook is a popular choice for buyers in the growth corridor. The suburb’s lifestyle is likened to be laid-back and rural, in a great location between the city and country. Surrounded by forests, parks and reserves, providing residents with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
Travelling to the CBD is easily accessed by road via the Hume Freeway or by train via the Donnybrook Train Station.
Donnybrook and surrounding suburbs have some of the boast schools in Australia, as well as medical, recreational and retail services, with the Epping and Craigieburn Shopping Centres not too far away either.
30-minute drive from Donnybrook you’ll discover the slopes of the Great Dividing Range. There are plenty of activities to do in Kinglake Park including taking a scenic stroll, adventurous biking trails or picnic against the backdrop of panoramic views.
