Edithvale, Victoria

[3] Edithvale Primary School has a long history, originally being a wooden building which was burnt down in 1930 and took over 40 fireman to get ride of the huge fire.

Residents groups have set up the Kingston Boatshed Association to protect these historic treasures, originally constructed by their owners for family activities such as swimming and fishing.

The waters of Port Phillip Bay provide an excellent reflection as the sun sets directly facing the shore.

Pre-war this area was popular with Melbourne city residents who caught the train down on a hot Sunday and swam at Edithvale lifesaving club with its pier.

Commonly caught fish in the area include Flathead and Garfish, as well as Flounder which can be taken with a hand spear.

Part of the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands Ramsar Site lies within Edithvale, providing opportunities for birdwatching and environmental education as well as walking and bicycle tracks.
