A host of dignitaries attended the unveiling of new information boards at Kalorama Park on Sunday 16 July.
Yarra Ranges Mayor Noel Cliff, Cr Jim Child, Jaci Lees from Parks Victoria, and members of the Kalorama Park Group and Historical Society, were among those to honour the occasion.
Also in attendance were descendants of the Jeeves family who built the original Kalorama Homestead.
The boards now reflect the stories of the pioneering Jeeves family, about how they came to settle in the area and what they achieved.
The origin of the name Kalorama is also explained.
The information boards are attached to the chimney breast in the pavilion at the park, which is the approximate location of the original chimney of Kalorama House.
At the event, Cr Child recalled his memories of the farm that was located in the area.
Neil Johnson spoke about the collaboration between the Friends of Kalorama Park Group and Parks Victoria, which was essential in making the project a reality.
