2. Leuralla Gardens - 43-69 Balmoral Road, Leura

Leuralla Gardens Garden courtesy of Victor Evatt Victor’s great grandfather, Ehenriech Phillip (Harry) Andreas (1879 – 1955), purchased the property he named Leuralla in 1905. Harry set about establishing a European style garden across the 2.5 hectare holding and built a large dwelling for his growing family. In late 1909 an ember from a bushfire landed on the timber shingled roof and burned down the home. Much of the emerging garden was saved from the 1909 bushfire. The current home was completed in 1914 on the previous house site with the garden taking centre stage. The formal garden lay out was originally designed and created by Harry Andreas; then later on, Paul Sorensen worked with Harry to enhance the existing plan. https://www.leuragardenfestival.com.au/our-gardens/leuralla-gardens
