Wheelers Hill

Wheelers Hill, between Glen Waverley and Scoresby, is a residential area 22 km south-east of central Melbourne. Its origin was a farm taken by a John Wheeler near Ferntree Gully Road, extending eastwards to the Dandenong Creek (the present boundary of Scoresby). The prolonged rise along which the road runs gave the area its name. A hotel was constructed at Wheelers Hill where Ferntree Gully Road crossed Jells Road. Ferntree Gully Road was an access road to the Dandenong Ranges. It was also the site of the Mulgrave post office.
