Homestead Upgrade

There is a lot of work to do and we have to consider the heritage listings, the history and culture but we also want to focus on the future. We want to create new stories on this very significant part of our history as we work towards true determination.

The Heritage Listed Homestead is surrounded by several buildings including:

Kitchen/store – right next to the main building, also Heritage listed,  it was where all the food was prepared and stored for the family and workers.

Staff Quarters – several buildings were used to house staff and contractors

Meat Store – Like other buildings it was insulated with straw to try and keep the elements from destroying the meat.

Workshop – a large covered workshop where farm equipment was stored and worked on along with any other maintenance work.

Bough Shed – also insulated with straw this was a cool retreat used for anyone needing to get out of the sun.

Livestock Loading – This small pen was used to hold and load livestock

Future Buildings and amenities: All the original buildings will be refurbished and renewed and in addition there will be 6 individual staff/rangers quarters built plus a caretakers residence.
