Car Hire Blackburn - Mini guide to Blackburn

Blackburn, Victoria, may be a suburb of Melbourne but it has a few little stories and histories of its own to make it worth a visit for any traveller. The Blackburn Lake Sanctuary is probably the area.s best known attraction, and it is one of the few remaining natural bushlands in the Melbourne area. The lake was formed in the late 1800s when Gardiners Creek was damned in order to provide water for the local fruit growers and to this day, the Lake Sanctuary remains a damn good place to visit whenever you are in Blackburn.

One of the most endearing stories about Blackburn is of the .Toot Toot Drive Slowly. sign that used to hang from under the railway bridge. Neighbours would become infuriated with the amount of passing cars who would sound their car horn when passing the sign and any attempt to remove it was usually followed by a swift replacement. The sign has been taken away but its spirit lives on with frequent spray-painting of the logo. One way for any visitor to keep the spirit alive would be to obtain a Blackburn car hire, and take part in the toot toot ritual themselves.

With the main shopping hub of Box Hill being a short drive away, any stay in Blackburn would be enhanced by visiting any of the Blackburn car hire firms and taking advantage of the surrounding towns and villages. To the other side of Blackburn lies Nunawading, which is famed for its retail outlets, so if you or your travelling party like shopping, Blackburn places you squarely in between two great places which means you can shop and then relax, all from a Blackburn base.

So whether your stay is consisting of just Blackburn and the local towns, or perhaps it.s acting as a base for the wider area of Melbourne, you.re sure to get more out of your visit by heading down to a Blackburn car hire firm and seeing everything the region has to offer.
