Statement of Significance
What is significant?
Henry McCullagh took up Lots 1C and 1D Section 9 Parish of Parwan, 85 acres, under a Section 42 occupation licence and obtained freehold in 1873 and 1874, the property was known as ‘Bright View’. Henry died in 1902, probate papers list a seven-roomed weatherboard house, milking shed and dairy, and that was operating as a dairy farm.
The McCullagh’s daughter Adela (Delia) married Jeremiah Whelan in 1900, and the couple took up Brightview after Bridget died in 1910. When Adela died at Brightview in 1953, she was still living in the same house she had been born in (The Express (Melton), 26 September 1953, p. 8).
The McCullagh homestead ‘Brightview’ was demolished at an unknown date, the building was removed by a previous landowner. A ruinous domed brick cistern or water tank is present, the structure is likely associated with the former homestead. The site has the potential to contain archaeological remains associated with the house and other related features.
