BARRAWARN MEANING Barrawarn means magpie in the Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri people, the traditional owners of this land. "For more than 23 years, magpies have been part of our family life here. Their songs have marked the rhythm of our mornings, their presence has been a constant companion through seasons of change, and their trust has grown alongside ours. We have shared this land with them as family, not just as visitors, and the name Barrawarn honors that bond". "It also pays respect to the Aboriginal heritage of the region, acknowledging the deep cultural roots that give meaning to this place. For us, the name reflects continuity, legacy, and harmony between people, animals, and landscape. As the property moves into its next chapter, Barrawarn carries forward that story. It offers future custodians not only a home but a place with history, heart, and a name that speaks of family, respect, and connection to the land". - From the current owners Imagine entering through your private automated gates, the city stress melting away with every turn, until you arrive at the foot of your spectacular retreat.
