Dundullimal Homestead

Dundullimal Homestead is a heritage-listed former pastoral station and now cultural facility, house museum, and events centre. The Australian colonial slab hut-type homestead is located on the bank of the Macquarie River. The homestead was built in c. 1842 by John Maughan and is also known as Dundullimal. The property is owned by the National Trust of Australia, NSW branch. The homestead has survived in a near-unaltered condition since its construction and is now the only tangible evidence of the early squatters' run. The timber church, which can still be seen today, was built in the 1870s and has connections to Saint Mary MacKillop. Children love visiting Dundullimal Homestead and exploring the sprawling grounds and outbuildings. The homestead's rich pioneering history is also a great way to introduce children to aspects of Australian history. Well-behaved dogs on leash are very welcome in the dog-friendly gardens
