Werribee Mansion, Victoria

Werribee Mansion is about 30km south-west of Melbourne, on the road to Geelong. Entrance is free to the gardens and the Mansion.
The gardens are sumptuous, including the national rose garden and a huge range of native trees and shrubs. The manor is beautifully preserved and provides a great insight into the lives of 19th Century landowners, their servants and the farm workers.

One of the many farm buildings on the estate, this one a farm worker's cottage with a kitchen garden full of flowers, herbs and vegatables.


There is a sculpture park in the grounds. You need to providfe your own model for the picture.
