Manningham Toy Library

Started in 1984.


The Manningham Toy Library is a not-for-profit incorporated organisation owned by its members. The library is managed by a Committee that employs a Toy Library Coordinator, with members sharing roster duties.  We rely on our members to ensure the smooth running of the toy library and to keep member fees to a minimum.  Manningham Council supports the toy library by providing us with a premises and promotion, however we rely on member fees and fundraising to cover our running costs.

Robert Williamson - Springfield Farm

Williamson's Dairy Farm

This section of the park bordered by Church Road, King Street, the Boulevarde and the row of Monterey Pines used to form part of the Williamson family's "Springfield" dairy farm.

Robert Williamson arrived in Victoria from Scotland in 1854 with his new, young wife Elizabeth. in 1855, he took charge of the Carlton Estate its the Parish of Bulleen and acted as Bailiff of it for 15 years.
In 1858, when the estate was subdivided, he bought 250 acres of it, including 100 acres in Middle Road (now Williamsons Road) for 746 pounds, where he established 'Springfield' farm and raised his 12 children.
 In 1863, Robert Williamson was elected a Bulleen Shire Councillor and later became a Justice of the Peace.
The Williamson family continued dairying operations until 1969 with a mixed dairy herd of jerseys, guernseys, shorthorns and fresians, supplying milk to dairies in Doncaster, Box Hill, Mitcham, Balwyn and East Kew and cream to butter factories in East Melbourne and Fitzroy. Hand milking continued until 1939 when a Boltie-Simplex milking machine was introduced. Crops grown on the farm included oats, field peas, millet, maize and hay, which were all used as fodder for the dairy cattle and horses.
