Boyd Park - Outer Circle Railway

The photo was taken at the Neerim Road intersection of the linear park.

The section of the Outer Circle Railway in Murrumbeena has been named Boyd Park in honour of the Boyd Family. Merric and Doris Boyd and their children Lucy, Arthur, Guy, David and Mary grew up in Murrumbeena at Open Country. Many of Arthur Boyd's first paintings were painted in the Outer Circle Reserve as a teenager. Merric Boyd, his father, was a potter renowned for his unique Australian style pottery. His workshop & kiln were a stone's throw from the reserve. - Source http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/sspj/archived_pages/ocr_murrumbeena_archive.htm

The Outer Circle Railway, constructed in the 1890's to link Fairfield to Oakleigh, stopped operation in 1899 however its linear reserve can be followed northwards from this point in an almost continuous link.

There are many geocaches on this trail including Kangadrew72's series "OCRP" (starting with GC6G2D1), and my Wherigo "Parallel Universes" (GC38VRA)
