Tecoma is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the Shire of Yarra Ranges. Tecoma is a small town, nestled between Belgrave and Upwey and running up to its favourite and most popular asset, Sherbrooke Forest. Tecoma is mainly a small village; a licenced milk bar, video outlet, fish'n'chip shop, a bakery and a handful of art and craft shops along the main road, Burwood Highway, which leads straight up from Melbourne proper. Tecoma Primary School is located across the road from the strip of shops. Tecoma is the second last railway station on the Belgrave line, and is one of only a handful of stations in the Melbourne metropolitan rail network to have only one platform. The homes in Tecoma are mainly in residential bushland, which attracts numerous native birds of many kinds.
