Mount Martha, Administrative division in Mornington Peninsula, Australia
Mount Martha extends over 17 square kilometers along Port Phillip Bay, featuring natural reserves, walking trails, and sandy beaches with bathing boxes.
The area received its name in 1836 after Martha Jones, mother of Captain William Hobson, marking the start of the Selwyn fault geological formation.
The Mount Martha Public Park spans 53 hectares of natural reserve where the Friends of Mount Martha Park group works on environmental conservation projects.
Access to Mount Martha is available through Peninsula Link and Mornington Peninsula Freeway, connecting the area to Melbourne via the EastLink tollway.
The suburb contains the Balcombe Creek boardwalk that stretches over 5 kilometers, leading visitors from the beach to the historic Briars Park.
