What to expect
The Dairy Cottage is a historic building located in Parramatta Park, Sydney. It is one of the oldest intact cottages in Australia, constructed between 1796 and 1805 by ex-convict George Salter. The cottage was later converted into a dairy and features a sunken milk room and other historic additions. The Dairy Precinct, which includes the Rangers Cottage, is a rare example of an intact colonial site and is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Register. Visitors can explore the grounds and gardens, and take a guided tour to learn more about Australia's colonial history. The precinct is a great place to visit with family and friends to learn about the country's past and enjoy the beautiful surroundings
