ALISON HOMESTEAD HALF DAY OUTING AUGUST 2011

Tuesday 2^nd August was a glorious day for our half-day outing to Alison Homestead, the home of Wyong District Museum and Historical Society.  At the corner of Alison & Cape Roads, Alison Homestead is on Wyong’s first land grant in the 1820’s to William Cape Snr. In 1875, William Alison Snr purchased the three Cape properties at Wyong, but it’s not certain if a new homestead was built or the existing cottage extensively renovated.

We soaked up the sunshine and admired the peaceful rural views from the front of the homestead, across the wide expanse of green grass and paddocks. While some of our group stayed with our very knowledgeable guide Roman on a tour of the rooms and outside buildings, others happily sat chatting in sunny spots, fed carrots to the two horses on the property or just wandered at their own pace enjoying the gardens and displays.

Thank you Robin for the photos and copy.
