Physical Description
Ruins of a once important stone homestead and out-buildings on the bank of the Lockier River.
History
Edward Broad came to the district as a shepherd, from the Avon Valley. He acquired land called Marmara, married in the 1880s, and carted to the goldfields in the 1890s. The family lost the property during the 1930s Depression.
These structures were built by Edward Broad in 1902 for his wife Ellen Jane (Oliver of Lockier River). They reared a family of 9 children and the homestead was one of the social centres in the Mingenew district, particularly during World War II. Following the War, the War Service Land Settlement Board obtained the property for discharged servicemen. The homestead was once a grand old home and the pride of the district, with its tennis court on the banks of the Lockier.
