17 August at 2pm

Want to know more about the origin and meaning of the street names in Box Hill?  Then come along to the launch of our new publication, Street wise: the origins of street names in the former City of Box Hill, by Gary Presland and Helen D. Harris OAM.

Street Wise covers the origin of Box Hill’s street names and is the result of detailed research tracing back street names to when they were first used, then seeking out the circumstances in which they appear, and the reason for the choice of particular names.

Emeritus Professor Graeme Davison AO will launch this latest volume from the Box Hill Historical Society, at the Society’s AGM on Sunday, 17 August 2025. The meeting will begin at 2.00 p.m.

Numbers are limited, so please RSVP by 10 August: Telephone: 048 0651 323; Email: boxhillhistory@gmail.com. To order a copy of the book, click here for an order form.
