History: The home was built (approx. 1939) by a local Bredbo family who lived in it until the 90's. They produced the local honey and operated as the local stock and station agent. They built the shed making all the concrete bricks by hand. The current owners have done the majority of the renovation work.
The well is an original hand dug well (the current sellers believe this is the only working well left in the township). It is fed by a 1500 litre rainwater tank.
