 Hawksburn, Victoria
Unlike neighbouring Prahran, Hawksburn was not provided with rail transport until the Gippsland railway was connected between South Yarra and Caulfield in 1879.
It was named after Hawksburn House (situated near where the railway station was later built), which was so named when its owner saw a hawk near a stream which he likened to a Scottish burn.
Hawksburn's land is elevated above Prahran's and it attracted a number of large residences whose owners favoured such sites because of their superior drainage.

 Stonnington History News - #31
South Yarra Station is the odd one out in this discussion of the Gippsland line, as it was constructed in the early 1860s to serve the Princes Bridge to Windsor line.
Its construction represents a deviation from the low-cost timber structure which was typical of the stations built by the early private companies and from the standard layouts associated with stations built by the Victorian Railways Department.
All the stations were then left at the wrong level and/or in the wrong place, and the bold solution adopted around 1915 was to build new stations – the Edwardian structures that we see today.
