Historic Dairy Cottage tour

Historic Dairy Cottage tour

Grab this chance to explore exclusively one of Australia’s oldest buildings. Delve into the site’s fascinating stories and uncover its historical, social and architectural importance to Australia. Examine original construction details, including lathe and plaster walls, colonial brickwork and a shingle roof.

The Dairy Cottage is located on the site on the first Government Farm. Built in 1796, it was home to George Salter, an ex-convict turned cattleman. It later became part of Governor Macquarie's Domain, now included on the World Heritage list.

In addition to touring the two cottages and their gardens, you will be able to witness the story of Parramatta Park – the People’s Park - unfold in an engaging new audio-visual exhibition. It’s a fascinating glimpse into our colonial past and Parramatta’s significant Aboriginal history.

Due to the fragile nature of the buildings, entry is limited to groups of no more than 15.
