Test + Tag in Boronia

Some background on the place: The new tunnel and intersection opened in 1998, with the land which the railway used to occupy (housing the Country Fire Authority, railway station and large playground/park) being converted into a new shopping centre and carpark. It tells us what kind of premises to expect and therefore the likely item count. Boronia sits inside a block we cover properly rather than occasionally. The neighbouring suburbs on that run are Bayswater, Bayswater North, Ferntree Gully and Knoxfield.

Because Boronia grew around Boronia railway station, the housing closest to it is typically the oldest on the block. Another piece of background on the suburb: Boronia railway station opened in 1920, leading to an influx of residents and Boronia Post Office opened on 1 October 1920.
