Summary
Weather for Arthurs Seat

At 302m, Arthurs Seat not only provides panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay from its many lookouts and rural roads, but a wealth of things to do within a 5 minute walk of the summit.

The 304m peak was named by Lt Murray in 1802 after a similar landform near Edinburgh. From the earliest days of settlement in the area Arthurs Seat was a regular recreational outing. Such was its popularity that an intriguing development ‘Hollywood Garden of the Moon’, was erected at the summit in the 1930’s, recreating a similar facility in California.

The complex included a swimming pool, lounges, hotel and beer garden. The semi-Deco style of building evident at the summit reflects the opulence and exuberance of the times. Ferries brought visitors to Dromana, who then took buses up the Arthurs Seat Tourist Road.

Australia’s first non-ski field chairlift was erected in 1960 and since then the 74-seat lift has been a dominant feature of local tourism. In and around Arthurs Seat a wide range of attractions exist to entertain the visitor, including the diverse Arthurs Seat State Park and 34ha Seawinds Gardens.
