Statement of Significance

The Neale Road ford, approach roads and water reserve landscape is of local historical significance as a representation of the first wave of pastoral settlement and road communications in the Colony of Victoria. The Telford roadways are technologically significant as examples of nineteenth century road making while the ford and roads demonstrate adaptation to the local landscape in the use of locally quarried bluestone and basalt fieldstone.
