Book Direct with the Owner at Avondale Discovery Farm with Attractions Melbourne in Beverley, for all your Attraction and travel needs.
Avondale is located on land originally assigned in the 1830's to the first Governor of the Swan River Colony, Captain James Stirling RN, and Harbour Master Mark Currie RN.
Several wealthy owners during the 19th century saw Avondale grow to over 5260 hectares in size.
In 1910, Avondale was purchased by the Lands Department. After the Great War, most of Avondale was subdivided and sold to returned soldiers as repatriation farms.
The remaining homestead block of 705 hectares faced an uncertain future for several years, until it was vested in the Department of Agriculture in 1924.
