Victoria place of death abbreviation?

Could someone suggest what a Victorian place name abbreviated to Epra might mean, it doesn't appear on the two sites in the Vic Resources section.

Hi

Probably East Prahran.  Comparing several deaths with place EPRA with Electoral Roll finds most seem to be living in the areas of Melbourne close to Prahran.

I'm happy with East Prahran. You've also given me another means of tracking down place name abbreviations.

Thanks Andy.
