Huntingdale

Huntingdale, formerly East Oakleigh, is a residential and industrial suburb 17 km south-east of Melbourne, between Oakleigh and Clayton.

Part of Huntingdale was occupied by the Melbourne Hunt Club from 1887 to 1929, and the link between them gave the area its name. The Hunt Club's land was acquired by the Eastern Golf Club, resulting in the opening of the Huntingdale Golf Club in 1940 (now in the Oakleigh South post code area). The golf course ultimately came to host the Australian Masters' Tournament, the first one being held in 1979.
