Step back in time and experience the charm of life on a 19th-century Australian farm at Gulf Station.

Step back in time and experience the charm of life on a 19th-century Australian farm at Gulf Station. Nestled in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, this well-preserved heritage site showcases the resilience and self-sufficiency of colonial farming families.

Explore the homestead, old schoolhouse, and historic outbuildings, all constructed by hand using traditional techniques. Meet the friendly Clydesdales, visit the sheep, and imagine life in a bygone era as you wander through the barns, sheds, and cottage garden restored by the National Trust. Learn about the Bell family, who farmed the land for 100 years, feeding gold rush diggers and offering warm hospitality to all.

  • Join a guided tour or explore at your own pace.
  • Discover the farm’s historic buildings and self-sufficient practices.
  • Meet the animals and enjoy hands-on family-friendly activities.
  • Bring a picnic to relax on the lawn and soak in the tranquil surroundings.

Perfect for families, history buffs, and anyone seeking a glimpse into Australia’s farming heritage, Gulf Station is a living testament to the hard work, generosity, and ingenuity of its colonial inhabitants.
