The earliest development around Glengala Road began in the mid‑1920s, when the Glengala Estate was laid out on the western side of Kororoit Creek. At this time, the area was semi‑rural, with the Sunshine Golf Club being one of the few notable landmarks nearby. The area did not grow significantly until after World War II. Sunshine West, including Glengala Road, expanded rapidly during the 1950's and 1960's post‑war immigration boom. The Glengala local shopping strip emerges during the 1960's and the 1970's and they were simply known as the Glengala Road shops.5673.01 - Glengala Rd looking west from Gregory St (Sun Adv 337) 1992 Photo 01.JPG 5673.02 - Glengala Rd Cnr Pellew St (Suns Adv 377) 1992 Photo 01.JPG 5673.03 - Glengala Rd Cnr St. Andrew St (Sun Adv 377) 1992 Photo 01.JPGglengala road, sunshine west

The Glengala Road shopping strip in Sunshine West emerged during the 1960s–1970s, following post‑war suburban expansion. Its earliest shops appeared in the mid‑1920s, but the area did not become a true neighbourhood shopping centre until the post‑war immigration boom transformed Sunshine West into a residential suburb. Mid‑1920s — First development begins The Glengala Estate was laid out west of Kororoit Creek. Sunshine West was still semi‑rural, with the Sunshine Golf Club as one of the few landmarks. No substantial shopping strip existed yet. 1950s–1960s — Post‑war immigration boom Sunshine West expanded rapidly as new housing estates were built. Migrant families (Maltese, Greek, Italian, Yugoslav, later Vietnamese) settled in the area. This population growth created demand for a local shopping centre. 1960s — The Glengala Road shops emerge The strip between 66–88 Glengala Road becomes the core of the neighbourhood centre. By 1965, shops included: Furniture store (Aguis C.F.) Hardware store (Agius Carmelo “Charles”) Fruiterers Butcher Photo studio Confectioners Dry cleaners 1970s — Growth and diversification By 1970, the strip had expanded to include: Greek Club (community hub) Dry cleaners Blinds shop TAB Confectioners Butcher Furniture and hardware stores Late 1970s — Mixed‑business era By 1977, the strip included: Milk bar / mixed business Western & Continental Bread bakery TAB Other small retailers 1990s — Mature neighbourhood centre Photographs from 1992 show Glengala Road as a fully developed suburban shopping strip with bakeries, cafés, small retailers, and community activity.Sunshine Shopping Centres 492.3glengala road shopping centre, glengala road, sunshine west

These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1990, capture the construction of the Westlink Bridge on Somerville Road as it crossed Kororoit Creek to link Brooklyn with Sunshine West. They show the moment when the major bridge spans were lifted into place, marking a key stage in the project’s development. It was estimated that once completed, the bridge would carry between 30,000 and 35,000 vehicles per day, diverting much of the traffic away from Glengala Road and Little Boundary Road.Bridge Being Builtsomerville road, kororoit creek, sunshine west, westlink bridge, brooklyn

Gordon William Doak, was one of Sunshine's early known gay activist. He was a linesman, a builder and a Glengala Road Sunshine West resident. He built his two-story home himself including a gymnasium. Soon after his 1973 'coming out', he sold up and purchased a property in Moor St, Fitzroy, digging underground and setting up his own personal gym under the house for himself and his friends, Most people remember, even decades later, was the arrival of Gordon Doak at the Gay demonstration in the City Square, Melbourne. He decided, on hearing about the demonstration, that he wanted to be there. But not for him anything as mundane as catching a train. Rather he decided to run in to the city, and to carry a banner that he made for himself – 2 foot square, black letters on green canvas that read 'I am proud of my homosexuality. Please change the repression against homosexuals and let us live in peace'. As he ran the eight miles through the streets of Sunshine, Tottenham and Footscray, he was cheered on and waved at by pedestrians and jeered at only twice!In 2019, the City of Melbourne Council installed this historic 1973 photo of Gordon in the “Yes” room in the Melbourne Town Hall for his historic role in campaigning for LGBTI acceptance.gordon william doak, lgbtqia+, glengala road, sunshine west, st. marks amateur athletic club

A meeting was held on 18th August 1947 at the East Sunshine Community Hall with the aim of forming a motor cycle club. The name BRAYBROOK MOTOR CYCLE CLUB was decided upon "as it would cater for riders and non-riding members in all surrounding districts". The first President was Don Minahan with Bert Watson as Secretary. They had been members of the Auto Cycle Union whose members became dissatisfied with the prize money awarded, so the Victorian Motorcycle Association (VMCA) was formed. The President of the VMCA (Mr. A. Clarke) attended the meeting on 3rd September 1947 which was held in the Hall behind the Sunshine Theatre. This became the regular meeting place. The new Braybrook Club affiliated with the VMCA joining clubs from Altona, Coburg, Essendon, Newport and Preston. Membership mostly came from recreational motor bike riders looking for more structured competitive riding experience and enjoyment. The club conducted its events on Sunday afternoons and as sport at that time was not permitted on Sundays, they overcame that obstacle by seeking a silver coin donation (pointing out that "two bob" was expected). The events were mainly dirt scrambles over open land which today is known as "off road". The favourite sites were Sunshine's ample open spaces such as Glengala Road and McIntyre Road, as well as Arundell Road (Keilor) and Laverton. For track racing experience the club formed a very basic dirt track on the open land in Glengala Road west of the original Sunshine Golf Club, which was very popular on Sunday afternoons for both riders and spectators. In the early 1950's Motorbike and Sidecar races were also witnessed on some Sundays, on a track near the corner of McIntyre and Furlong Roads, North Sunshine. During 1950 the Braybrook members voted in favour of allowing the Sunshine Club to amalgamate with them and form the BRAYBROOK AND DISTRICT MOTORCYCLE CLUB. The merger took place at the meeting on 10th July 1950 when office bearers were elected. The club disbanded in the mid 1960's due to the massive residential development occurring in the Sunshine district, and so activities were merged with the Newport Club. The above information is mainly compiled from Sunshine Advocate articles published on 29/8/47, 12/9/47, and 30/6/50, and from written details supplied by Mr. J. N. Willaton. Further details or corrections from interested readers are welcome.The Braybrook and District Motorcycle Club has not existed in its own right for several decades.
