Share our interest in the history of Ivanhoe, Heidelberg, Rosanna, Greensborough, Viewbank, Macleod, Eaglemont and surrounding areas.
Where is Heidelberg?
Heidelberg is a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.
It is 11 km north east of central Melbourne, on the banks of the Yarra River.
In the past, the name "Heidelberg" has been applied to a wider area than the modern suburb.
It gave its name to an artistic phenomenon, the Heidelberg School.
Our Areas of Interest
Any area that was ever in a local government area called "Heidelberg". Some places, such as Fairfield and Hurstbridge, have long ceased to share local governments with us, but we still have some historical information about them.
