Tally Ho

Tally Ho, a relatively prominent district in the rural landscape of the nineteenth century, is now a sub-locality of Burwood East, 18 km east of central Melbourne. The dividing line between the Parishes of Nunawading and Mulgrave was the east-west Highbury road, and a store was built at the corner of Blackburn and Highbury Roads in the 1860s. It was opposite a school opened in 1861, positioned to take children from families in each parish. A hotel was built next to the store in 1871 and was later named Tally Ho.
