Dundullimal Homestead
A 1840s slab-hut homestead on a working farm, one of the oldest surviving slab-construction houses in Australia, with stables and old farm tools.
Dundullimal Homestead was built in the 1840s by pastoralist John Mein, using local timber boards and mud plaster in the 'slab' construction method. It is among the earliest and finest examples of this type of house in Australia. The grounds include the main house, a sandstone stable, a wool shed, an old scale and farm implements. The homestead is now managed by the National Trust of New South Wales and often hosts guided tours, craft markets and a café. It lies about 2 km south of the zoo, so you can visit on the way for about an hour. Opening days and hours vary with the season, so check before you go.
Opening hours
Mostly Wed–Sun, 10:00–16:00
