Puunyart,
one of Victoria’s oldest properties, has been farmed by the Wilson family
since the 1930s. You can spend the day seeing the daily activities of this 2,500
acre property, watching sheep dogs at work, seeing the shearing in season and
learning how to select the finest quality Australian wool. It is also a unique
opportunity to learn something of Australia’s history with the collection of
memorabilia, antiques and aboriginal artefacts that Jim Wilson has built up over
the years which, together with his huge knowledge, will take you through the
early years of Australia’s development. In the evenings, the combination of
Jim and Diana’s hospitality and the fresh produce from the garden and farm
provide for an excellent evening at home. The region was one of the first areas
of Australia to be settled and in season can resemble more an English rural
scene than the stereotyped harsh Australian environment. Only two hours to the
northwest are the Grampian mountains, whose ramparts still harbour a huge
variety of wildlife and wilderness, while to the south lies some of
Australia’s most famous coastline, visible from the spectacular drive along
the Great Ocean road.
Hosts:
Jim & Diana Wilson Accommodation
/ Meals: There are 3 guest rooms (2
with ensuite) in the main house. The Wilson’s have retained vestiges of their
Scottish heritage (look for the small herd of Highland cattle near the
homestead) and the main hall is reminiscent of a Scottish country house. Off the
main hall is the sitting room - a relaxing place to sit back with a drink or
good book in the evening. Dinner is a 3-course meal taken with the Wilsons and
is served with excellent local wines. While breakfast is served in the
conservatory. There is also a billiard room, swimming pool and tennis court. Activities: Trips on the property take in the daily activities of the farm (shearing, sheep dogs at work). Trips to local area include a resident koala population and, a little further afield, the Great Ocean Road on Victoria’s south coast. Jim’s private collection of Australiana provides a fascinating look into Australia’s history before and after European settlement. |
