The Briars is a former homestead in Mount Martha, Victoria, Australia, now managed by the Mornington Peninsula Shire as a conservation park. The property was originally established in 1840 by Alexander and Emma Balcombe with a 6,000 acres pastoral licence, later reduced to 1,000 acres. Partially used for wine production, it was then handed down through generations of the same family until in 1976, the property was transferred to the National Trust of Australia and the Shire.
