Erinsborough is the fictional suburb in which the Australian soap opera ''Neighbours'' is set. The show focuses on the domestic and professional lives of the people who live and work in the suburb. ''Neighbours'' storylines primarily centre on the residents of Ramsay Street and the other locations within Erinsborough such as The Waterhole, Harold's Store, Lassiter's Hotel and Erinsborough High School. Erinsborough was originally going to be named Erinsfield and it is a loose anagram of ''Neighbours''.〔Johnston 2005, p.116.〕 Throughout much of the show's run it was not stated which city of Australia Erinsborough was located in. The rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne meant that scripts did not mention that Erinsborough was a suburb of the latter city until 1994. Since the 2000s it has been explicitly stated that Erinsborough is a suburb of Melbourne. The school and the street were some of the first sets to be seen and used by the characters within the show. The Lassiter's Complex within the town was not featured on-screen until 1986, when Daphne Clarke (Elaine Smith) began working at the Coffee Shop. When other characters began visiting the cafe, they got to know the rest of the complex. Rosemary Daniels (Joy Chambers) used the complex as a base for the Daniels Corporation and a hotel, which used to include a restaurant, a pub and the Lassiter's Lake also began appearing. There are enough different locations for characters to come into contact with each other daily and enough jobs within the complex to ensure that characters will make each other's acquaintances. The ''Neighbours'' sets underwent a makeover in 2010 ahead of the 25th anniversary in March 2011. Bulldozers moved into the Lassiter's Complex area to begin work. Many of the sets were revamped and there were some new additions. ==Erinsborough High School== Erinsborough High School has been featured on screen since ''Neighbours'' began in 1985. It is a co-educational high school that was opened shortly after the Second World War.〔Morrison 1991, p.10.〕 Many of the characters have attended or worked there over the years.〔 The Blackburn English Language Centre in Burwood East, Victoria has previously been used for location and exterior shots. Kenneth Muir (Roger Boyce) was principal of the school when the series began and Erinsborough High was regularly seen until 1986, when Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan), Charlene Mitchell (Kylie Minogue), Mike Young (Guy Pearce) and Jane Harris (Annie Jones) graduated.〔 The school was not seen again on screen until late 1988. The set features a corridor, a stairwell, an office and a classroom. Other areas of the school, including the playground and changing rooms, have been featured over the years. In 2010, the layout of the classroom was changed as was the school logo. ''Neighbours Erinsborough High has faced the threat of closure three times, in 1991, 1997 and 2015, and the school has been merged with both West Waratah Tech and West Waratah High. Erinsborough High's uniform has also been through numerous changes, with the exception of the maroon sweater, which is currently still part of the uniform. Michael Williams (Sandy Winton) became principal in 2010, taking over from Daniel Fitzgerald. Michael stepped down from the position in 2012, allowing Priya Kapoor (Menik Gooneratne) to take over.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wednesday, 1 February 2012 )〕 Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) returned to the position in 2013. Other teaching staff over the years has included Dorothy Burke (Maggie Dence), Libby Kennedy (Kym Valentine), Angus Henderson (Jonathan Wood), Pepper Steiger (Nicky Whelan) and Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin).〔 In October 2015, a fire was started in the school trapping several characters, including Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), Lauren Turner (Kate Kendall), Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) and Sheila Canning (Colette Mann), inside.〔 In May 2011, Erinsborough High came fourth out of four in a poll run by ''Inside Soap'' to find reader's favourite fictional school, which they would most like to attend. Erinsborough High received 16% of the vote. Of the school, the ''Daily Mail's'' Jaci Stephen commented "Erinsborough High has never exactly been the educational epicentre of Australia". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Erinsborough」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
