Plan of the township of Upper Oakleigh, 1853, subdivision Section 44

H.G. Gobbi in Taking it's place: a history of Oakleigh (page 26) notes:

 

"John Walker privately surveyed and subdivided Section 44 for Collings into eight-one allotments, which he titled "Upper Oakleigh". The streets of the subdivision recorded the owner's family members: Mary, Jull, Collings and Westbrook... Only the name Westbrook raimains: Jull Street is now Newton Street, Collings Street is now Drummond Street north, Mary Street is now Rae Street."

 

See the locale on Google Maps and compare with similar map also by John Walker.
