“Thunthullamal” is a local Aboriginal word for hailstorm or thunderstorm. Dundullimal Homestead retains many significant Aboriginal sites and artefacts from pre European settlement. By 1836 the land was occupied by squatters who made significant changes to the environment in order to produce goods for their survival.

The homestead is one of the oldest slab homes in Australia and is a unique example of ‘old’ technology using the local environment.

Dundullimal Homestead Education Programs have been developed for primary HSIE and secondary History subject areas.

Schools are welcome to have lunch in the grounds and visit our
animal farm. The Woolshed Café provides catering for school groups
at an extra cost.

Conditions of Entry
Dundullimal Homestead is situated on a 4 hectare property. The
majority of activities will be conducted outside and as such we
ask that all students are appropriately dressed with sturdy walking shoes, hat and sunscreen. A completed risk assessment is available on request.

This is recommend for large groups with only a short amount of time available. Students are rotated through a range of activities that are designed to give them an insight into the history of the property and make comparisons between life “then and now”. Activities include stories, games, guided tour, a visit to the animals and demonstrations by our blacksmith (when available).
