Garroorigang Heritage Homestead

In 1857, it was called the Mulwaree Inn but known by its aboriginal name, 'Garroorigang' meaning black swan. The handsome hand pump is still over the original 30ft well outside the stables. Garrooringang, historic home, a tour through Garroorigang is living history. In 1868, the stables were converted to a school for the sons of gentleman. Over 22 students were educated between 1868 and 1883 including test cricketer HH Massie and General Sir Harry Chauvel, Commander of the 5th Light Horse at the famous battle of Beersheba.

The home subsequently became the private home of the Hume family, collateral descendants of the explorer, Hamilton Hume. The antique furniture is original and there are many interesting items of Australiana of the Victorian times, including relics of the convict and bushranging eras. By arrangement with the family, we can offer tours to groups and the general public. Bed and breakfast is also available. Small intimate dinner parties can be arranged for that special occasion.

Parking available at rear as well as ample coach parking.
