Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Moonee Ponds (postcode 3039), an inner suburb in the City of Moonee Valley, about 6km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD on the Craigieburn rail line. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Moonee Ponds and neighbouring Essendon, Ascot Vale, Flemington and Brunswick West, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Moonee Ponds probably takes its name from an Aboriginal word meaning “small flats”, a reference to Mone Mone Creek. The area developed into a permanent township in the 1860s following the gold rush, with Mount Alexander Road becoming a major commercial thoroughfare connecting Melbourne to the goldfields. Queen’s Park — where explorers Burke and Wills camped in 1860 before their ill-fated journey north — is one of the suburb’s heritage parks. Puckle Street, the main commercial strip, was developed in the 1890s, and the Clocktower Centre (formerly the Essendon Town Hall, now a major theatre) remains the suburb’s most distinctive civic landmark. The first Ferguson Plarre bakery was also on Puckle Street.
