Spring Street in Melbourne is believed to have been so named because the beauty of the region in its early days reminded either the Governor, Sir Richard Bourke, or the area's surveyor of the season of Spring.
Another alternative theory is that Sir Richard Bourke wished to honour former British statesman Thomas Spring Rice, and so named it after him.
