The estate is named after Michael Solomon, an early pastoralist whose 1830s sheep station and nearby Solomon’s Ford were key early European landmarks on the Maribyrnong River. This report was undertaken to identify and characterise the vegetation on-site, to determine the presence (or likelihood thereof) of any significant flora and fauna species and/or ecological communities and address any implications under Commonwealth and State environmental legislation. The area of Solomon Heights covered by this report is the southern half, Whitehill Avenue to the North, Munro Avenue to the South, Vermont Avenue to the East and the railway line to the West.The results of the report found 78 flora species (35 indigenous and 43 non-indigenous), 2 native reptiles, 2 introduced mammals, 12 birds (8 natives and 4 introduced) and 1 native invertebrate were recorded in the study area.Final Report Ecological Assessment, Solomon Heights (Munro Avenue to Whitehill Avenue) Sunshine North, Victoria Prepared for Glen Ora Estate Pty Ltd January 2016 Ecology and Heritage Parnters Pty Ltdsolomon heights, sunshine north -

It transformed dramatically with the arrival of railways, the rise of Braybrook Junction/Sunshine, and the industrial boom driven by H.V. ...The Shire of Braybrook (1871–1951) was a vast, semi‑rural municipality stretching from Melton to West Melbourne, centred on the old Braybrook village at Solomon’s Ford. It transformed dramatically with the arrival of railways, the rise of Braybrook Junction/Sunshine, and the industrial boom driven by H.V. McKay’s Harvester Works. The area was first organised as the Braybrook Road District on 28th May 1860, after a public meeting at the Shamrock Hotel in Albion. The district was enormous, extending from Melton to Dynon Road on the West Melbourne swamp. Early settlement clustered around Solomon’s Ford on the Maribyrnong River, a key crossing for travelers heading to Geelong, Williamstown, and the goldfields. On 23rd January 1871, the Road District became the Shire of Braybrook. Council meetings were initially held in Maidstone, reflecting the early population centres. The Braybrook Shire Hall in Deer Park was built in 1885. That 1885 building was the first official hall and council offices for the Shire of Braybrook, long before the municipality shifted its centre of gravity toward Sunshine. It stood near the Deer Park Hotel and served as the administrative heart of the shire during the late 19th century. The Braybrook Shire Hall at Deer Park effectively closed as a council headquarters in 1930, when the Shire of Braybrook shifted its administrative centre to Sunshine. In 1951, the Shire of Braybrook was renamed the City of Sunshine, reflecting the shift of population and industry eastward. In 1994 - 1995 the Kennett Government reduced Victoria’s councils from 210 to 78, the largest restructuring of local government in the state’s history and this part of the City of Sunshine became the City of Brimbank. It is believed this extension table came from the Shire of Braybrook Shire Office located in Ballarat Road, Deer Park, opposite the Deer Park Hotel. Over the years this extension table was used in the Shire of Braybrook Shire Office Ballarat Road Deer Park, the Shire of Braybrook and City of Sunshine Memorial Hall Hampshire Road Sunshine and in the City of Sunshine Municipal Offices Alexandra Avenue Sunshine. When the City of Sunshine Municipal Offices in Alexandra Avenue, Sunshine closed down, this table was were presented to the Sunshine & District Historical Society by the City of Brimbank. The table is still in use by the staff at The Hunt Club Community Arts Centre, Ballarat Road, Deer Park.This table is one of the few remaining items that still connects us to the early days of the Shire of Braybrook.Wood extension table with two extension leaves and carved legs.shire of braybrook, shire of braybrook offices, ballarat road, deer park -

However, in 1994, Victoria underwent council amalgamations, which resulted in Braybrook being incorporated into the City of Maribyrnong. The suburb of Braybrook continues to attract considerable attention from the residents of City of Brimbank, particularly its historical features, the old buildings and distinctive streetscapes that characterise the area.To capture the essence of Braybrook in 2021, a series of photographs were taken. These images document a range of buildings, street scenes, and other notable points of interest throughout the suburb, providing a visual record of its unique character.5580.01 - Ashley St - Former 3LO - AWA Frequency changing building 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.02 - Ashley St 65- 67 Braybrook - Central West Shopping Centre 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5580.03 - Ashley St 185 - 195 Braybrook - Former National Springs 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.04 - Ballarat Rd 226 Braybrook - Ashley Hotel Ballarat Rd 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.05 - Ballarat Rd 234 Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.06 - Ballarat Rd 234 Braybrook 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5580.07 - Ballarat Rd 244 - 246 Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.08 - Ballarat Rd 256 Braybrook - ETA Factory Facade 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5580.09 - Ballarat Rd 256 Braybrook - ETA Factory Facade 2021 Photo 04.JPG 5580.10 - Ballarat Rd 261 Braybrook - La Porchetta 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.11 - Ballarat Rd 272 Braybrook - Former Holden Car Dealership 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.12 - Ballarat Rd 282 Braybrook 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5580.13 - Ballarat Rd 286 - 288 Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.14 - Ballarat Rd 288 - 290 Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.15 - Ballarat Rd 290 - 292 Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.16 - Ballarat Rd 306 - 308 Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.17 - Ballarat Rd 353 Braybrook - Braybrook Hotel 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.18 - Ballarat Rd 353 Braybrook - Braybrook Hotel 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5580.19 - Ballarat Rd 353 Braybrook - Braybrook Hotel 2021 Photo 03.JPG 5580.20 - Ballarat Rd 353 Braybrook - Braybrook Hotel Blue Stone Bar Sign 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.21 - Beachley St 23 - 33 Braybrook - Shops 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.22 - Beachley St 23 - 33 Braybrook - Shops 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5580.23 - Braybrook Commons Community Gardens Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.24 - Cranwell St 40 Braybrook - Klipspringer 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5580.25 - Darnley St 83 Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.26 - Duke St 144 Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.27 - Evans St 1 Braybrook - Harkrome Quality Electroplaters 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.28 - Evans St 9 Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.29 - Gilbert St 8 Braybrrok - Steeden Engineering Co Pty Ltd 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.30 - Hampden St Factory Demolishment 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.31 - Kent St Braybrook - Sunshine VRI Bowling Club 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.32 - Kent St Braybrook - Sunshine VRI Bowling Club 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5580.33 - Kent St Braybrook - Sunshine VRI Bowling Club 2021 Photo 03.JPG 5580.34 - Lily st Braybrook - RecWest 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.35 - Maribyrnong River Temple to Temple Trail Sign 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.36 - Maribyrnong River Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.37 - Marj Laffin Scoreboard Kinder Smith Reserve Lily St Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.38 - Myalla St 40 Braybrook - Salvation Army Hall 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.39 - Myalla St 40 Braybrook - Salvation Army Hall 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5580.40 - Quang Minh Buddhist Temple Burke St Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.41 - Quang Minh Buddhist Temple Gardens Braybrook 2021 Photo 04.JPG 5580.42 - Ramon Vila Pavilion Kinder Smith Reserve Lily St Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.43 - Solomon Ford Maribyrnong River 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.44 - South Rd 204 Braybrook - Caroline Chisholm College Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.45 - South Rd 204 Braybrook - Caroline Chisholm College Quinn Auditorium Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5580.46 - William Barak Sign Duke St Reserve Braybrook 2021 Photo 01.JPG ballarat road, ashley street, beachkey street, cranwell street, darnley street, duke street, evans street, gilbert street, hampden street, kent street, lily street, maribyrnong river, myalla street, south road, 3lo radio transmitter, central west shopping centre, national springs, ashley hotel, eta factory, la porchetta, braybrook hotel, klipspringer, harkrome, steeden engineering, sunshine vri bowling club, recwest, kinder smith reserve, marj laffin, salvation army hall, quang minh buddhist temple, burke street, ramon vila pavilion, solomon ford, caroline chisholm college, william barak, aboriginal, aborigine, first nation, braybrook -

... The ‘pool’ was to achieve fame as the venue for a world record-breaking ‘swallow dive’ of 205 feet 9 inches [63 metres] by ‘Prince Wickyama’, [aka Alec Wickham], a Solomon Islander. The dive from a special platform on the west side of the Yarra was reputedly viewed by between 50,000-100,000 spectators, with funds going to the State War Council. ...The ‘pool’ was to achieve fame as the venue for a world record-breaking ‘swallow dive’ of 205 feet 9 inches [63 metres] by ‘Prince Wickyama’, [aka Alec Wickham], a Solomon Islander. The dive from a special platform on the west side of the Yarra was reputedly viewed by between 50,000-100,000 spectators, with funds going to the State War Council. ...The former Deep Rock Swimming Pool was about 500 yards [457 metres] above Dight’s Falls. It was there that the Deep Rock Swimming Club was established in 1906. This initial club was expanded in 1916 to incorporate a life-saving club. In 1918, John Wren, the president of the club offered the club £1000, and undertook to sponsor a patriotic carnival in March 1918, at which swimming champions would take part. The ‘pool’ was to achieve fame as the venue for a world record-breaking ‘swallow dive’ of 205 feet 9 inches [63 metres] by ‘Prince Wickyama’, [aka Alec Wickham], a Solomon Islander. The dive from a special platform on the west side of the Yarra was reputedly viewed by between 50,000-100,000 spectators, with funds going to the State War Council. The Herald, 25 March 1918, claimed that the wide area occupied by spectators made more precise estimates impossible. In the 1980s, the construction of the Eastern Freeway, and the consequent re-routing of the Yarra River led to the site of the Deep Rock Pool being obliterated. A small cairn and plaque on the Fairfield side of the river now marks its former site.Very rare early photograph off the Deep Rock swimming pool. The pool and its built structures are historically and socially important to the people of Collingwood, Fairfield and Kew. Small, faded, Gelatin Silver print positive photograph of the Deep Rock Swimming Pool situated on the Yarra at Collingwood and Fairfield. The famous diving tower is at the right of the photo. The built structures were constructed for the Deep Rock Swimming and Life Saving Club. People are sitting on the terraces above the river. "Bathing Club. Deep Rock on the Yarra.
