View of Pin Oak Court, Vermont South. Also known as Ramsay Street

Ramsay Street is a fictional residential street in the Australian soap opera Neighbours and is located in the fictional suburb of Erinsborough, Melbourne. Traditionally, the street begins on the opposite side of the main road, fictionally dubbed "Wentworth Avenue", but is, in reality, Weeden Drive. Thus, the houses seen on screen are actually the tail end of a much longer street, though this is almost never referred to in the story and the cul-de-sac conclusion of Ramsay Street is treated very much as its own entity. This location is the focal point of the show, and generally characters are included in the storyline by their living in one of the six houses located at the closed end of the cul-de-sac. In the story, Ramsay Street is named after the Ramsay family, who were a prominent family in the area historically and when the show began. This family has since left the show, and a large number of other families and characters have come and gone from the street. Harold Bishop is the only character still living in Ramsay Street that is in any way related to the Ramsays, having been married to Madge Bishop (née Ramsay) for 13 years before she died of pancreatic cancer. The filming location for exterior Ramsay Street scenes is Pin Oak Court in Vermont South. The indoor scenes are filmed in a studio, so there are occasionally discrepancies between the appearance of the inside and outside of the houses. Ramsay Street's postcode is briefly visible in episode 5190, when Paul Robinson's driver's license is shown. It is 3751, which, while it is in Melbourne, is in reality located in The Patch. It has also been previously seen on mail as 9571.
