Division of Balaclava
The Division of Balaclava was an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. The division was created in 1901 and was named for the suburb of Balaclava , which in turn was named for a battlefield of the Crimean War. It was based in the wealthy inner southern suburbs of Melbourne, including Brighton and Sandringham. It was always a safe seat for the conservative parties, being held successively by Protectionist Party, Nationalist Party, United Australia Party and Liberal Party members. It was renamed Goldstein in 1984.
