Bladensburg Homestead

Bladensburg has quite a long history. Much of what is there now is not original, but still fairly old. The homestead is now the information displays and offices for Park staff.

When we visited 20 years ago there was more evidence of the place having been a working station only 10 or so years before. A lot of the stuff that was left behind is gone. Little remains of the contents of the buildings.

The meat house is probably not in its original place. I think it was nearer to the shearing sheds. The shearers quarters was over near the sheds. Most of the yards is in bad disrepair and deteriorating a lot over 20 years since our first visit.Read more
