Overdale Drive in Cashmere – Named after Overdale in Yorkshire. The name was suggested by Bruce Carey, a long serving committee member and also chairman of the Rhodes Home board. The Rhodes family had emigrated from southern Yorkshire. Formed on a subdivision of the horse-paddock slope in front of the Rhodes Memorial Convalescent Home in 1991. First appears in street directories in 1993.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add to it. Most of the houses here were built in the 1990s and 2000s. The more recent houses are huge and I have finally figured out what I find slightly weird about some of these houses. They look like posh hotels. The buildings that take up most of the street is a retirement home called Rhodes on Cashmere and it is described as a boutique retirement home. That is another word for expensive. I did like the house that was flying a pirate flag. At the end of the street there is a walkway down to Purau Tce.
