The seaside town of Rosebud, nestled on a stretch of beach on the bay-side of the Mornington Peninsula, acquired the name from the two-masted schooner, ‘Rosebud’, that was wrecked on the sandbar in the front of the town in the May of 1855, during a gale. An interesting article regarding an insurance claim on the wreck was printed in the ‘Age’ on the 29th November 1855.
Looking at the metropolis that Rosebud has become, it is hard to believe that less than a century ago it was described as:
” . . . A small fishing village on Port Phillip Bay at foot of Capel sound and Arthurs seat ; 3 miles from Dromana. Louis Anderson, postmaster. Population, 90 . . . “

Epilogue:
POI Australia has been designed to network Australia by encouraging and harnessing local knowledge wherever possible.
Our aim is to –
– encourage locals to support LOCAL community groups and events; and to use LOCAL products and services
– encourage visitors, tourists and investors to the many amazing regions of Australia that are so often overlooked.
During our visit, we have endeavoured to capture the essence of Rosebud and collectively, with our research, have summarised the Points Of Interest (POI) that we have found.
We know that there are many more POI and stories to tell. We enthusiastically invite and encourage contributions to POI Australia – no matter how large or small. To submit information regarding your town and region, please contact us. The information will be reviewed, edited (to suit the segment), approved and added to POI Australia. Remember: “a picture says a thousand words” – so the more photos – the better. To maintain relevancy of the information on the website, we are always grateful to receive updates at any time.
We encourage community organisations, sporting clubs, events, non-for-profit organisations to list with us, as all these services are totally free of charge – apply for your 100% Discount Coupon here.
In order to maintain the free community services, POI Australia provides an opportunity for businesses to support their town and region by advertising for a nominal annual fee. The business listings are designed to be very quick and easy to complete, providing links to existing websites, Facebook, etc., so that time-poor business owners can quickly add and maintain their listings. We hope that the low charges will encourage business to “spread the word”.
The more we network, the more successful we will be in promoting Australia’s locations, stories, histories, businesses, people, sustainability and the environment.
Working together, we can protect our Country, our Environment and our Communities . . .
