The Mornington Peninsula lies on the traditional lands of the Boonwurrung people, who, as original custodians of the coastline, bays & hinterland, had a deep cultural, spiritual & practical connection to the Peninsula’s seasonal rhythms. The coastal waterways & bays offered rich seafood resources & the land - with its bush, coastal dunes & woodlands - supported a diversity of life.
European explorers first came to the area in the early 1800s & over time, parts of the Peninsula were surveyed & settled to support the burgeoning fishing, sealing & whaling industries. As the region’s natural beauty was noticed, coastal villages began to form & the area started to be known as a ‘resort/seaside town’ with guest houses & holidays homes developing.
The name ‘Blairgowrie’ is shared with a town in Scotland, suggesting settlers named it after this place back home, a common practice in Australian colonial history.
