Dating back to about the same time that Melbourne’s Botanic Gardens were being planted out by Baron Ferdinand von Mueller (more than 100 years before the famous English gardens Sissinghurst and Hidcote). Heronswood’s creator, Edward La Trobe Bateman, is regarded by many to be as important in early garden design in Australia as von Mueller’s successor, William Guilfoyle, who transformed the Melbourne Botanic Gardens into the brilliant garden we know today. The main house was designed by Bateman for Professor Hearn, a foundation professor at Melbourne University, and completed in 1877. The ‘drop slab’ cottage adjacent to the house, was built in 1864 and houses Gallery Heronswood, an artistic interpretation of the world of flowers, pollination and seed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE MORNINGTON PENINSULA The Mornington Peninsula Shire is a local government area in southeastern Metropolitan Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is located to the south of the Melbourne City Centre. It has an area of 724 square kilometres and in June 2018 it had a population of 165,822. The Mornington Peninsula Shire came into existence on 15 December 1994 when the state government amalgamated the previous Shires of Flinders, Hastings and Mornington. On August 13, 2019, the Shire voted to declare a climate emergency in response to other similar declarations from councils around Australia. The Shire abolished the 150-year-old tradition of reciting a prayer before Council meetings in December 2020. According to the Australian National Secular Lobby, the Shire was the first council or parliament to be removed from their list of government institutions that impose prayers on elected representatives. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #australia #australia4k #australia2023 #melbourne #walkingtour #citytour #exploreaustralia #victoria #parks #wildlife #travel #travelling #botanicalgarden #lake #beach #ocean #marina #morningtonpeninsula #gardens #heronswood #nursery #heritage #melbourne #australia #melbournecity #melbourneaustralia #visitmelbourne #travelmelbourne #CityofMelbourne #CityWalk #MelbourneStreetWalk #MelbourneVirtualTour #MelbourneWalkingTour #StreetsOfMelbourne #MelbourneEvent #Melbourne #Australia #MelbourneCity #MelbourneAustralia #VisitMelbourne #TravelMelbourne #soundsofmelbourne #melbournelaneway #melbournestreetart #MelbourneStreetFood #queenvictoriamarket #MelbourneCBD #MelbourneMarket #MelbourneStreetTour #whatsonmelbourne #dandenongranges #mountains #drive #drivingvideo #drivingvideos #driving #highway #road #car #truck #trip #botanicalgarden #botanicgarden #relaxing #nature #melbourneaustralia #australian #scenic #scenery #albertpark #lake #melbourneaustralia #melbourneaustralia #australia #cityview #city #walkingtour #walkthrough #walkaround #bar #yarrariver #canoeing #shopping #busy #beautiful #views #travelling #holiday #mustvisit #4k #cinematic #virtualtour #scenery #sightseeing #walking #relaxing #beautifuldestinations
