Ringwood North, Victoria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ringwood North, Victoria is a residential suburb 24 km., east of Melbourne, Australia, usually considered to be that area of Ringwood north of the line of Mullum Mullum Road. It can be located in the Melways predominantly on page 49. Ringwood North is often claimed to be the most liveable suburb in the most liveable city in the world, Melbourne.
Ringwood North provides the perfect blend between city and country living. It has its own self contained one-stop shopping centre, unlike Warranwood, and also plenty of parklands and reserves nearby without being excessively rural like Wonga Park or Warrandyte. Its roads feature a happy medium between the sterile, parallel streetscapes of Ringwood and the circular, 'contour-line' style streets found in neighbouring Park Orchards.
As far as geography is concerned, Ringwood North is a surprisingly hilly area, which is especially evident around the aptly named Loughnan's Hill area and the infamously steep Glenvale Road. Glenvale Road also happens to mark the boundary between Ringwood North and Donvale, and also the boundary between Maroondah and Manningham. It was the scene of a rather major car accident several years ago in which a Holden HQ one-tonne utility carrying a large load of bricks overturned upon making its descent.
Famous people from North Ringwood include AFL footballers Jess Sinclair, Ben "The Bull" Sharkey and Harry "The Fluff" Schnauzer
