Default A piece of Aussie history

Not military but i thought some of us might find this of interest
I had the privilege of viewing a piece of aussie history today
The farm was first settled in 1857 .
I know to some of the european and other countries this is only recent history but Australian settled history it is getting back there
This farm is still owned by the decendants of the original settling family
This family has a strong sense of history and have left the original homestead untouched yet well maintained form
The site still has all machinery and fittings from throughout it's history including a brittania steam engine still connected to the original shearing sheds
The site has a Main homestead ,servants quarters ,bake house ,coolrooms ,laundry house ,stables ,shearing shed and shearers quarters
Fantastic viewing for me
