Statement of Significance

The place has some significance for its association with the fmr Wurarga Hotel which stands opposite.

Physical Description

This large house was of timber frame and corrugated iron construction. All that remains of the house now is a centrally located brick chimney and the rear portion of the house, which is collapsing in part. The rear section is timber framed and clad in corrugated iron and weatherboards. Immediately east of the house is a CGI tank on a timber stand and at the rear is a timber framed CGI clad shed. There is evidence of a laid out garden and the remains of a chook yard nearby.

History

This was the residence built for the owner/manager of the Wurarga Hotel. It is now part of the Barnong pastoral lease. The house has recently been stripped for building materials (1994-5).
