Have you ever wondered why a small town in Melbourne is called “Carrum”? Carrum District, or as it is known to locals, Carrum, was originally part of the Carrum Carrum Swamp. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that the swamp’s area was drained. The Patterson Cut, a man-made channel that cut through the swamp, was completed in 1879. The cut was built to prevent flooding, which occurred regularly in the area. Carrum’s railway station opened in 1882, the first between Mordialloc and Frankston. The first post office opened in 1886. Today, the Carrum District is a vibrant suburb of Melbourne, with a rich history and a thriving community. The remnants of the old Carrum Carrum Swamp have become the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands, a protected natural area. This small but important district is a place where you can enjoy beautiful beaches, explore the wetlands, and learn about the rich history of Melbourne’s development. It’s a place where you can truly appreciate the beauty of Victoria.
