Ormond, a residential suburb south of the Caulfield Racecourse, is 12 km south-east of Melbourne. It is named after Francis Ormond (1829-89), grazier and philanthropist who had a strong interest in education (eg Ormond College). Point Ormond, where Glenhuntly Road meets the bay, was named after a master mariner, Francis Ormond, father of the first-mentioned.
