Experiment Farm Cottage
-
Emancipated convicts James and Elizabeth Ruse established Australia’s first self-sufficient farm in 1789. In the colony’s first land grant, Governer Phillip gave them a further 12 ha (30 acres) for their efforts. The charming Colonial bungalow was built in the 1830s by the farm’s next owner, the surgeon John Harris.
