Balwyn is a suburb 10 kilometres east of Melbourne located in the northern part of Boroondara.
Etymology
The name 'Balwyn' is derived from the name of an estate near the south-west corner of present-day Balwyn and Whitehorse Roads. It was named by its owner, Andrew Murray, in 1858. The name combined the Gaelic bal and the Saxon wyn to create Balwyn meaning 'home of the vine'.[3]
