Passion for Berries |
|
|
|
My passion for berries and fruit has been inspired by the paintings of Louisa Anne Meredith (1812-1895). Louisa has written and illustrated many books of watercolours and drawings of Australian flora and fauna. Some of her beautiful art-works are displayed in Wild Berry Cottage. |

History of Wild Berry Cottage |
|
|
|
Wild Berry Cottage was owned by the THOMAS family from the beginning of c1860s when it was built, until 1947. A 1861 newspaper fragment was found as packing between the floorboards and a recently discovered cellar. It is thought that Wild Berry Cottage was originally a two-room cottage with the front bedroom used as a bootman's shop, and the current B&B lounge used as living quarters. It seems that as time progressed the other rooms were added including a kitchen, a cook house, and two chimneys. A total of three cellars have been discovered in Wild Berry Cottage, including one under the current B&B kitchen. |
