Thomas and Andrew Chirnside travelled to Australia in the mid 1800s from Scotland. Armed with determination and motivated by their family motto 'do or die', the brothers set about creating a vast pastoral empire.
Werribee Park is a testament to their successful business venture whilst offering visitors of today a rare glimpse into the extravagant opulence of a bygone era. Step back in time in the superbly restored mansion and listen to the Chirnside family chatter through an audio headset tour. Meet May, an enthusiastic laundry maid with a tragic story to tell.
There are 10 ha's of exquisite gardens surrounding the mansion. Features include an ornamental parterre, a 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.
