After the ACT was established, the Yalgum property was first leased starting on 1 July 1933, the size of the block was 1686 acres, and it was designated as grazing land. Rental was £154 per year, for a 25-year lease. It had a farm house, sheds, a sheep dip, and other farm related equipment.
However, after the establishment of Kowen Forest, the farm was discontinued, and the house was rented out as a govie house. Sadly, in 2015 the tenants were evicted and their home of 26 years was demolished, due to a court ruling that their property was too great a risk in the event of a bushfire.
Nothing now remains of the home, but at GZ you can find the remains of the yards, where there were various sheds. There also remains the real axel of an old car. Trees belonging to the old orchard also remain.
Please BYO pen.
