<< The Grove Homestead
The Grove Homestead would have to be considered as the
original "kit home". The house was measured up, on site, on the
property "Grove", just south of Tingha. The components for the house
were then all cut to measure in Newcastle in 1841, before being loaded
onto bullock wagons for the long trip north. Ironically the bullock
wagons didn't reach the intended location of the home so the home was
assembled where the wagons were bogged.
The house is set up as a typical home of that era and well worth browsing through.
