Balwyn, Administrative district in City of Boroondara, Australia.
Balwyn extends across residential areas with tree-lined streets, large estates, and gardens located 10 kilometers east of Melbourne Central Business District.
The land was purchased by Andrew Murray in 1850s who named it Balwyn, combining Gaelic 'bal' and Saxon 'wyn' to represent home of vine.
The Wurundjeri People maintained their traditions on this land for over 14,000 years before European settlement began in the nineteenth century.
The suburb connects to Melbourne through multiple transportation options, including tram services along Whitehorse Road and several bus routes.
Maranoa Gardens within Balwyn stands as the first Australian botanical garden specifically created to showcase indigenous flora collections.
