History behind Rowville street names continued…

May 15, 2017 By RowvilleAdmin Leave a Comment

Today we thought we would add another of our street name updates.  There is no theme this time, but interesting tid-bits all the same.

Heysen Close – named for Hans Heysen, Heidelberg School artist

Josephine Close – mistress of Napoleon Bonaparte

Kilcatten Rise – from ‘Kilcatten Park’, local pastoral property owned by Golding family, early 20th century.
