Garfield is a town in Victoria, Australia, 79 km south-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the Shire of Cardinia local government area.

[1] The area was originally called Cannibal Creek, but was renamed to Garfield in memory of the U.S. President James A.

[2] The Post Office opened as Cannibal Creek on 1 May 1886 and was renamed Garfield in 1887,[3] though this had not been the first choice of the local community.

Today, it’s one of the few picture theatre buildings remaining in the shire and hosts monthly concerts.

Both events bring thousands of visitors to the town to enjoy local food and entertainment.
