He had 20 kids from 2 wives. That’s all I could remember. The homestead came with a lot of land which the government later acquired.

I ran into a fellow guide from Melbourne! She gave us a private tour.

It’s now owned by the National Trust. They’ve renovated most of it. The windows are original. The furniture was donated by people.

The piano is the only original piece. The strings are vertical!
