A reserve since 1860, Emu Plains has high regional significance for biodiversity, with the heathlands being especially valuable. The open central heathland area is rich in flora species. With the extensive low heathland backed by stringybark forest, the landscape most resembles what the Bun wurrung and early European surveyors and settlers knew to be the Balnarring area: open plains set in forest.
Nowhere else on the Mornington Peninsula can this visual experience now be found, as almost all of the plains are gone. It is said that emus once ran on the Balnarring plains.
We share our home with the Balnarring Picnic Racing Club.

The Emu Plains Market acknowledges and pays respect to the Boon Wurrung / Bunurong people who are the Traditional Custodians of this Land.
