The Four Winds Fountain is located within the Italian Garden on the estate. The Italian Garden was established by Thomas Walker around 1860 and forms an important part of the landscape. The formal garden contains the Four Winds Fountain, an Italianate Balustrade and remnants of original planting beds.

Carved from sandstone, the decorative fountain contains a main bowl partially sunk below ground level. Above are a series of small bowls and figureheads representing the four winds from the North, South, East and West. The fountain was restored in 2003.

Restoration of this fountain was made possible by the generous bequest of Liane Poulton (25.12.1946 – 1.8.1999), a long-time resident of Concord who loved this estate and passionately advocated the preservation and maintenance of “Yaralla” for the benefit of all.
