No I did not see that street mentioned. But I was suprised to read that Gembrook is named after gems in a brook! But emerald is NOT named after emeralds.
 Did you know we have sapphires in Victoria? I had no idea. Apparently they are sometimes lying on the beach amongst the sand! They mention Pt Leo as one spot where they can be found.  
This page has a photo of what to look for! Though seems that collecting them is now banned at pt leo.
