SUMMARY:Balwyn Heritage Walk
DESCRIPTION:Reimagine Balwyn of the past\nJoin us for an Senior and History Month event! \nExplore a guided walk through Balwyn’s fascinating past\, starting at the Balwyn Baptist Church and winding our way to the Palace Cinema. Along the way\, you’ll trace the suburb’s journey from open paddocks and grazing land to one of Melbourne’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. \nHear how trams changed everything in 1916\, how a simple land tax in 1921 spurred rapid development\, and how a humble vet who once tended horses and cows adapted to care for beloved pets. We’ll stop at every street to uncover stories that shaped this community — from bonfire nights in Beckett Park to the thrill of billy cart races flying down Balwyn Road. \nIt’s more than a walk — it’s a stroll through living history. \nCome curious. Leave inspired. \nTour starts at Balwyn Baptist Church – corner of Parring and Whitehorse Roads. \nPlease remember to wear sensible shoes\, weather appropriate clothing and to take care throughout the walk as there are uneven surfaces. \nFor bookings\, visit https://www.pmi.net.au/ – just follow the ‘News and Events’ link in the top menu.
