This is a fantastic playground within Caulfield Park (this is the playground directly on Balaclava Rd), which boasts two other good playgrounds suitable for kids of all ages, and shaded areas as well, plus a toilet right nearby. Excellent play equipment, as per the photos. Popular with joggers.

From mansion to apartments, Labassa has survived with its Victorian era decoration intact. Labassa is an outstanding Victorian era mansion with opulent architectural features. Originally called ‘Sylliott Hill’, it was renamed ‘Ontario’ in the 1880s reflecting its new owner Alexander William Robertson’s Canadian heritage. Robertson was a founder of the Cobb and Co. coach company that successfully ran mail services throughout Victoria. Renamed Labassa in 1904 it was home to Melbourne’s elite until 1920 when it was divided into flats. The residents included Hollywood’s first Australian silent film star and other colourful bohemians. Labassa is the most lavish of the few surviving nineteenth century mansions. Open every third Sunday of the month.

Labassa is secreted away at the end of Manor Grove and dominates the landscape as you walk up the street. It's imposing facade is striking with pink marble offsetting the grey construction. Colourful tessellated tiles take you through to the entrance and you are immediately whisked away to another time. For the most part the property is in fair to good condition, although there is a long way to go for it to be restored to it's former glory. The property went through a number of ownership changes, and then was converted into 10 flats, which is still evident and forms part of the history of the mansion. We were lucky enough to also tour the tower, which could be a challenge for those with mobility issues. The rooms are quite grand and you can imagine the wealth that was required to build such a residence.

The Caulfield Cup is one of the world's top thoroughbred races; it's worth $5 million. It's held at the Caulfield Racecourse, otherwise known as The Heath. The race is for horses 3 years and older over 2400 metes (2620 yards). It is a handicap event, though it is in the process of transfering to WFA. It will be held this year 17 Oct 2020. The Caulfield Cup is a lead in race to the Melbbourne Cup, there's always speculation if the winner will "get the double."

This wonderful reserve is a real oasis nestled behind Caulfield Railway Station. The Guiness Tunnel accessed via the entry gates opposite Caulfield Station gives pedestrian access to the centre of the reserve....lakes, walking, BBQ, toilets... open from 9.45 am until sunset. Spread the word.
