Avoca Homestead Open Day
About
Join us on Sunday, 20th September for a relaxed afternoon on the lawns at Avoca Homestead. Explore the homestead, learn about its history, and see the progress made so far.Established in 1871, Avoca Homestead is an important part of the region’s history. Your visit includes access to part of the original township, including the General Store, Workshop, Recreation Room and Gardener’s Cottage, along with the Homestead built in 1879.
You’ll also have the opportunity to see the restoration work that's been happening since the 2024 fire that unfortunately destroyed the original pine log section of the homestead.
Enjoy live music from local entertainers, with a BBQ, beer, wine, soft drinks, tea, coffee and sweet treats all available to purchase.
Bring a chair or picnic rug and spend a relaxing afternoon on the lawns beside the Darling River.
Please note: Due to the proximity of the river to the outbuildings, this area will only be open for viewing between 1:00pm and 3:00pm, with staff monitoring access during this time. Please ensure you arrive in time if you wish to explore this part of the property.
