About Boneo
Boneo is a rural locality south of Melbourne,
Victoria, Australia, south of and inland from
Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsula. The
local government area for Boneo is the
Shire of Mornington Peninsula.
Boneo is dominated by the Boneo Flats, where
market gardens and pastures are located. It
contains a recreation reserve, community hall and
primary school. A market also operates on the
third Saturday of every month.
The eastern part of the Boneo locality, alongside
Main Creek, is part of the Mornington Peninsula
National Park called Greens Bush, a native
bushland area first set aside for
conservation in 1974 and supporting the largest
population of Eastern Grey Kangaroos on the
Mornington Peninsula. Several walking tracks
provide access to the area.
