| Looking out over the pond towards the original farmhouse. |
 |
| The original farmhouse was built by Robert and Susannah Aspinall. Robert was a convict who was transported in 1842 for stealing lead. |
 |
| The Aspinalls' had 7 children so the school house was needed, it was set in a cherry orchard. The Aspinall sons were big men who used to cut railway sleepers from the surrounding trees then carry them for up to 3 kms. |
 |
 |
| Lots of bird life on the ponds. |
 |
| The surrounding countryside is lovely. |
 |
| It's a lovely place to visit, we still caught some Autumn colour. |
