Statement of Significance

The remains of the old Monbulk Homestead have high local significance for their associations with the Dargan family, early district pastoral pioneers, who acquired the Monbulk run in 1850. The Monbulk Pre-Emptive Right property is of significance as one of a large number of such properties in Yarra Ranges Shire. The property has historical significance, too, for its associations with the Nixons and Brandts, prominent district families.
