Myuna Farm

Location 182 Kidds Road,DOVETON, Casey City Level Included in Heritage Overlay

Statement of Significance

Myuna Farm has high local significance as a rare survivor in this urban area of a former farm run at the turn of the century by Thomas Carroll, the Mayor of Dandenong. The present homestead was built for the McKinnon family, who purchased the property in 1932. Arch McKinnon, engineer, and later Berwick Shire Councillor, ran it first as a pig farm. It has social and educational value as a public community farm demonstrating the agricultural history of Berwick and the district's rural heritage. The former farm homestead has architectural significance as a good example of a red brick Craftsman Bungalow with a Dutch gabled main roof, stepped chimneys and attic windows.
