[1/1] Wilson Farm

Statement of Significance

The Wilson farm complex, built up from the land selection era of the 1880s, is significant to Victoria because it provides an excellent almost untouched example from early selection farming endeavours in the area and in the State and lends to the variety of farm housing and outbuildings in the district.

This place is also significant for its association with the Wilson family from 1884. It also dates from one of the Shire's major development eras (selection era); has great potential to interpret the site historically (high physical integrity, oral and documentary evidence); and is an expression of the lives or lifestyles of locally important people (Wilsons). It is rare as a type (intact selector's house and farm complex) and, with no modern services (such as electricity) supplied to the complex, reflects a past now discontinued lifestyle.
