Step back in time to the world of a
pastoral property dating from the
1830s. The historic farm buildings
of Saumarez Homestead include a
slaughterhouse, stables, poultry
yards and milking sheds. The late
Victorian and Edwardian house is a
fully-furnished grand house with
English-style gardens. Together, the
whole property reflects the different
worlds of work and leisure of the
owner’s family members and the
blacksmiths, stockmen, cooks and
servants who worked there. From the Paddock to the Plate uses practical learning experiences, such as artefact games and treasure hunts, to explore the archaeology, history and working life of the property, and traces food production and preparation from the farm to the dining table. |
