More about Mooroolbalk

The suburb of Mooroolbark is located just 5km from Lilydale and is home to the most unusual intersection in Melbourne, the “five ways” which was named by Australian newspapers in 2023 as the most complex roundabout in Australia. The name Mooroolbark was popularised with the European settlement in the late 19th century and it has been believed to mean for some time “red earth” which has lead to an extensive use of the meaning in the community. Specifically the Red Earth Festival, which ran over a weekend in march from 1890 to 2001, the festival had numerous stores and ammusement rides, from 2002 the celebrations still continue but in a smaller version known as Celebrate Mooroobalk. Mooroobalk’s Soccer Club the Barkers was founded in 1962 by two Dutch men and until 1978 they were known as the Mooroobalk United Soccer Club, as well as soccer, Mooroobalk is home to Mooroobalk Football Club aka the mustangs which saw AFL players Sam Mitchell and Heath Hocking play for them during their junior years.
