Glenferrie Road is a major north–south thoroughfare in Melbourne, Australia.
It runs from Kew to Malvern, and includes major shopping districts at both Hawthorn and Malvern.
Tram route 16 runs along the entire length of Glenferrie Road. Three railway stations – Glenferrie, Kooyong and Malvern – are each located at the intersections of their respective railway lines with Glenferrie Road.
The Kooyong Tennis Stadium, the original home of the Australian Open, is located on Glenferrie Road, as are the Toorak Campus of Deakin University and the biggest campus of the Swinburne University of Technology.
Famous quotes containing the word road:
“Dear common flower, that grow’st beside the way,
Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold,
First pledge of blithesome May,
Which children pluck, and, full of pride, uphold,
Hight-hearted buccaneers, o’erjoyed that they
An Eldorado in the grass have found,
Which not the rich earth’s ample round
May match in wealth—thou art more dear to me
Than all the prouder summer-blooms may be.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
