Residents can enjoy the lakeside parks of Yarralumla, including Weston Park and Yarralumla Bay, both popular for walking, swimming and barbecues. The nearby Yarralumla Neighbourhood Oval and adjacent tennis courts also provide community sport facilities.
Yarralumla, named from an Aboriginal term meaning “echo mountain,” was settled in the 1820s and later became the site of Government House, the Governor‑General’s residence. The suburb has evolved from early farming and brickworks to a prestigious residential area with many diplomatic missions.
Yarralumla features a mix of original weatherboard, monocrete and brick dwellings alongside newer, larger two‑storey houses with expansive gardens. The central and western parts of the suburb are especially known for their spacious, tree‑lined lots.
