Werribee
Park is an outstanding historic and cultural attraction,
providing an insight into the heritage of the
Australian pastoral industry and life in the 1880s.‘Step
back in time in the superbly restored Mansion
and listen to the Chirnside family with an audio
headset tour. Meet with May, a laundry maid who
can teach you the tricks of the trade.
Take a stroll to the farm where rustic bluestone
outbuildings, once abuzz with workers and activity,
provide a start contrast from the elaborate craftsmanship
of the Chirnside Mansion.Ten hectares of exquisite
formal gardens surround the Mansion and feature
an ornamental parterre, grotto, heritage listed
trees and expansive manicured lawns. With spectacular
highlights every season the garden is the perfect
place to relax with a picnic or take a leisurely
stroll all year round. Smell the sweet scent in
the internationally recognised Victorian State
Rose Garden.
