Road tolls in Boroondara

From Boroondara Wiki

Tolls for roads and bridges were a feature of the area's early development. Both government and private tolls were in operation throughout the mid to late-19th century. The Boroondara District Road Board began establishing some from the 1860s. All public road toll gates were closed in 1876.[1]
