Arthurs Seat is a hill and locality on the
Mornington Peninsula, within the Shire of
Mornington Peninsula, about 75 km south east
of Melbourne, Australia. The Aboriginal
Boonwurrung name for the hill is Wonga.

Arthurs Seat is a major tourist attraction, owing
to its natural bushland, sweeping views and
man-made attractions. The hill rises to 314 m
(1,030 ft) above sea level.

Current attractions at Arthurs Seat include
Arthurs Seat State Park (including "Seawinds"
gardens), a maze, two restaurants and a car
museum. The viewing area near the summit
has disrupted views of Port Phillip with the
Melbourne City skyline and the You Yangs
visible on the horizon on a clear day from some
of the lookouts.


View from the summit lookout of Arthurs Seat,
Victoria, Australia. 2014.The summit is
connected to nearby Dromana by a winding
tourist road which opened in 1929. The road
provides access to the Dromana cemetery on
the way to the summit. This hill climb in the past
was used for the historic fathers day hill climb,
Local governance has allowed the loss of this
not for profit community event to make way for
commercial events like bicycle races.
Prominent viewpoints from the road include
Bowens Point (145 m), Franklin Point (195 m),
Murrays Lookout (247m), and Chapmans Point
(274 m), Due to overgrowth at the higher
Chapmans point, Murrays lookout is the best
vantage point to view the peninsula itself.
