[1/1] Wood Farm Complex

Statement of Significance

The Wood farm complex, owned in 1914 by E.S.Wood, is of significance to the Cardinia Shire for its associations with the development of the area as a prosperous dairying and potato growing district after the drainage of the Koo-wee-rup Swamp. This Edwardian-era, weatherboard farm house with extensive outbuildings, remnant hedges, and stone pines along the drive, is significant for its near original external appearance and faithful representation of that era.
