Statement of Significance


This Edwardian timber homestead has high local significance for its associations with the German pioneer J. F. Aurisch, and during the 1960s as the home of Byrne and West's well-known Murray Grey Cattle Stud. The house is in fair condition, containing 1930s additions to the turn of the century original design. Several corrugated iron sheds with bush pole structural timbers stand beneath established cypress plantings, and are important for their demonstration of early farming uses.
