Have you ever wondered how the Peanut Farm🥜 got it`s name?

There are actual several "theories"..

🥜 Apparently back in WW2 when American GI`s were stationed here they were totally NUTTY ( excuse the pun! ) about fresh peanuts so they simply grew their own! They planted their own crops and grew them right here in St Kilda!

BUT There`s also a story that a hundred or more years ago the reserve was a small racecourse and the gambling currency was ( you guessed it .. ) PEANUTS!!
Who knew working for peanuts could actually have been a good thing? 🥜 🥜

There actually WAS a St Kilda Racecourse - located at the southern end of Peanut Farm Reserve. Races were held there between 1847-1868.
On Boxing Day 1866, over 3000 people attended!!!

Truth is stranger than fiction so maybe both stories are true and the place is just destined to be forever associated with Peanuts🥜 ...

( and to be fair, these days you can DEFINITELY find a Snoopy or Two running around there too! ) Woof!

If any local historians have any extra facts to share we are all ears!
