Pirianda, Meaning Sufficient

Recent Posts


Pirianda is a Koori Aboriginal word meaning sufficient, or enough. A walk last weekend in the Pirianda Gardens in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria showed off the autumn leaves changing colour already. Gifted to the Victorian State by the Ansells, who owned hectares of the garden and an original house still standing on the grounds, it is unclear why it was named as such. Whatever the story, this is a quiet delight.
