Nooroo was built in 1880 by William Cox and many of the old trees found in the garden were planted then. It was however the Valder family which owned the property from 1917 to 1987 who largely developed the garden. The garden today now covers 2 hectares.
Daffodils, Camellias, Rhododendrons bloom in profusion from September and in Autumn, Nooroo is reknown for its colour. Nooroo is especially famous for its Wisteria which is at its peak in late October.
Many of the photos featured in Dr. Peter Valder's book 'Wisteria' were taken at Nooroo. The Wisteria collection at Nooroo is unique to Australia and attracts visitors from around the world.
The name Nooroo is an Aboriginal word meaning 'Shady Place'.
