Balnarring

Balnarring is a rural township on the Mornington Peninsula 2 km from the coastline of Western Port Bay. Balnarring Beach is the small coastal resort on the bay, at the mouth of Merricks Creek, looking towards Phillip Island. Balnarring is approximately 65 km south-east of Melbourne. The origin of the name is uncertain, although phonetically it is most likely derived from an Aboriginal word or expression.
