Old Farm Strawberry Hill

The Old Farm Strawberry Hill was once the home of the first Government resident in Western Australia. Wander through the beautifully furnished 1836 historic cottage to gain a real insight into the way of life in early colonial times. The cottage was one of the earliest buildings in the state and site of the first cultivated farm. A highlight to your visit is a walk through the property's stunning gardens, which contain some of the original fruit trees. Once you have worked up an appetite be sure to visit the restaurant for a well deserved Devonshire tea or light lunch. If time permits take a short drive up to the top of Mount Clarence for a spectacular view across Albany and the surrounding waters. Just a short distance from Albany and four and a half hours drive south from Perth, the Old Farm on Strawberry Hill provides a wonderful trip back in time to the state's early settlement
