17811 Hotham River Homestead Group
The homestead signifies the first permanent residence on the Farmer's land. It illustrates the importance of the family's contribution to the Boddington district who still work and reside in the district.
The relics of the homestead are in the remnants of a stone bread oven. Formally, the house was located on one side of the Hotham River, while the pig sty and garden were located on the other. A stone bridge connects the two developments. One original log still remains as part of the stone bridge.
Hillside was the first permanent homestead located in the Farmer's locality. Thomas Farmer built the home for his wife, Eliza, and his young family. They chose the site as the animal's manure responded to the soil, before chemical products were produced for this reason.Together, they later built the Hotham River Homestead.
