Save historic Warrock buildings

With more than 30 heritage classified buildings dating back to 1843, the Warrock Homestead complex is arguably Victoria’s most significant historical settlement. Originally comprising of approximately 57 mostly timber buildings, the complex included a main homestead, workers’ accommodation, woolshed, stables and carriage house, blacksmith shop, storerooms, dairy workshops and kennels home to the first Australian “Kelpie”. The complex was entirely self sufficient and featured a landscaped garden with significant trees and plant species and one of the first private glass greenhouses constructed in Australia.

In order to ensure the future of Warrock, we need to replace a significant amount of cladding and repaint most of the buildings. We have already purchased the materials to do this but we now need to pay professional builders to complete the job.
