This Yarra Valley homestead is a typical farming household of the 1850s, which has been preserved to give visitors an insight into the lives of farmers at that time. It includes the most completely preserved group of timber slab cottages in Victoria, and has been painstakingly restored displaying personal accounts, letters, diaries and other records. Visitors can wander through the rustic gardens, feed the ducks and hens, and look at the furnishings, kitchen implements and farm tools, gaining a glimpse into everyday life in the 19th century. Admission: Adults AUD7; concession AUD5; children (4-15) AUD4; National Trust members free.
