This long oak avenue, which most probably relates to the ownership of the property from 1875 to 1890 by Alexander (Sandy) Crichton, district butcher and grazier, is significant to the Cardinia Shire because of its connections with early farming in the Gembrook area, its extent and maturity. It is significant for its associations with the Crichtons, who owned much of the district land, and in the 1890s with John Turnbull, grazier, of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company. It once formed the drive to the Turnbull family's sheep-farming property.
