state coroner places

State Coroner is definitively a Melbourne (well, Victorian I guess) show but the names have been changed. They're mildly interesting, only mildly, I'm not going to write to the newspapers about it. 

There's no Grey Hills in Victoria. THERE'S NO GREY HILLS* OK (later in the show someone is told 'A motorist was killed yesterday morning at Spring Hill', presumably a continuity error no-one gave a loose root about).

This show was made a few years after the Royal Southern Memorial Hospital was amalgamated with various Alfred Hospital-related institutions. If that means anything. 
There is a Bass Valley, kind of, near Corinella but certainly no Airfield. 
'Glenview' is an odd choice for a name because Glenview High was the name of a Grundys soap of the seventies. Presumably the absolute genericness of the name made everyone forget that. 
How this was anyone's idea of a High Street, I do not know, but a lot of streets have weird names for historical or other reasons. 

There's no Mount Pyramid in Victoria, so probably not an access road either. In reality it goes to Grey Spring Hill Glen Valley. 

*There's a place in New Mexico called Two Grey Hills. Don't write in.
