Glen Iris

Glen Iris is a residential suburb 10 km south-east of central Melbourne. To its north is Camberwell and to its west is Malvern, and Glen Iris was in each of those two former municipalities. Its situation remained the same with the creation of the amalgamated municipalities of Boroondara and Stonnington.

Glen Iris lies either side of Gardiners Creek. Its name comes from that of a residence built by a solicitor J.C. Turner. He had acquired his land from a settler who had travelled to Victoria on the ship named the Iris.
