Statement of Significance
This derelict timber farm house, thatched outbuildings and mobile shepherds hut, probably erected in the late nineteenth century is of architectural, historical and scientific significance to the Slaty Creek district.
The use of thatching in some outbuilding construction and the mobile shepherd's hut are notable. The farm complex indicates the settlement of land in the area for agricultural purposes. It is of importance for its potential to provide information that contributes to a greater understanding of the history of the settlement and establishment of the district, and has a strong presumption of archaeological research potential. Further historical research and archaeological investigation is recommended.
