View of the Charsley family at the pavilion, with a rowing boat on the lake at Hedgeley Dene Farm. Hedgeley Dene Gardens were formed along an early watercourse that was once part of Hedgeley Dene Farm. In 1874 solicitor Edward Charsley owned land extending west from Malvern Road. The farmhouse was situated in Wattletree Road close to the present site of Tollington Avenue.
Fom 1892-1894 the farm of 60 acres was tenanted by James Henry Moorhead .
From 1902, the Maidment family ran a dairy farm and the waterholes and dam on the property were known locally as Maidment’s Lakes. From 1891 to 1907 the waterholes were used as water hazards by the (Royal) Melbourne and Caulfield (later Metropolitan) Golf Clubs.
Hedgeley Dene Farm was subdivided in 1911 by W.L. Bailleau, the farmhouse was demolished, and the Maidment family moved their dairy to Kardella Street. Malvern Council purchased 8.5 acres of land, using it first as a quarry for sand and clay and then as a rubbish tip. The present Gardens were developed from 1924. The lake was excavated, bridges were built and raised beds in the lake were planted with Japanese Iris.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Concorde, Fox Alpha, Air France:

The first supersonic airliner to enter service, the Concorde flew thousands of passengers across the Atlantic at twice the speed of sound for over 25 years. Designed and built by Aérospatiale of France and the British Aviation Corporation, the graceful Concorde was a stunning technological achievement that could not overcome serious economic problems.

In 1976 Air France and British Airways jointly inaugurated Concorde service to destinations around the globe. Carrying up to 100 passengers in great comfort, the Concorde catered to first class passengers for whom speed was critical. It could cross the Atlantic in fewer than four hours – half the time of a conventional jet airliner. However its high operating costs resulted in very high fares that limited the number of passengers who could afford to fly it. These problems and a shrinking market eventually forced the reduction of service until all Concordes were retired in 2003.

In 1989, Air France signed a letter of agreement to donate a Concorde to the National Air and Space Museum upon the aircraft’s retirement. On June 12, 2003, Air France honored that agreement, donating Concorde F-BVFA to the Museum upon the completion of its last flight. This aircraft was the first Air France Concorde to open service to Rio de Janeiro, Washington, D.C., and New York and had flown 17,824 hours.

Gift of Air France.
