Statement of Significance

A hipped shingled roof cover the two symmetrically placed main rooms of this early homestead, constructed of timber drop-slab walls with 20-pane windows and brick chimneys. A lean-to extension projects to the rear. The verandah is a later addition and there is a detached kitchen, constructed of lashed unsawn tree trunks, to the rear.

Built from 1844 onwards by lawyer-pastoralist Andrew McCrae and his wife Georgiana, the noted diarist, the house is an important example of early Victorian homestead.

Specific exemptions are tailored to the conservation and management needs of an individual registered place or object and set out works and activities that are exempt from the requirements of a permit.
