Heronswood is classified by the National Trust of Australia and is open to the public.〔(Heronswood, The National Trust Database )〕 The house, which is also on the Australian Heritage Places Register,〔(Australian Heritage Places Inventory, Heronswood )〕 and the Victorian Heritage Register is located at 105 Latrobe Parade in the suburb of Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula. The property is directly above the beach where Captain Matthew Flinders landed, on 27 April 1802. ==The Gardens== Hearn employed William Moat to develop spacious lawns and gardens. Rare oriental and occidental trees were planted, many of which survive to this day. A cape chestnut is one of the most impressive trees today that survived from these early plantings. Moat also developed an orchard and fenced Hearn's property. He planted many pine trees, some of which are still standing.〔McClear, Colin. A Dreamtime of Dromana. A History of Dromana through the eyes of a pioneering family. pp 50 Published by Dromana Historical Society.

This book, which is world wide in scope, is an encyclopedia of the art of garden design from the earliest known gardens to the present.〔Goode, Patrick, The Oxford Companion to Gardens published by Oxford University Press, 2001 ()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heronswood, Victoria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
