Monbulk is a town in Victoria, Australia, 42 km east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the Shire of Yarra Ranges local government area.
The town’s abundance of rich fertile soils led to the foundation of a number farms and orchards, growing fruits and vegetables, as well as cut flowers.
The town has been affected by bushfires throughout its history, with the Monbulk Primary School razed by fire in 1913.
His children's novels Ash Road and Hills End were written there and set in the area.
Monbulk shares a border with Silvan to the north, Macclesfield to the east, Olinda to the west, and The Patch and Kallista to the south.
