We visited one of the earliest farm houses in Australia. The John Macarthur family arrived in Sydney in 1790. He introduced English crops and livestock, was a principle promoter of the Australian wool trade and was credited with taking part in the overthrow Governor Bligh in 1808.
Elizabeth Macarthur lived at Elizabeth Farm until she died in 1850.
The farm is very child friendly. Zoe was able to climb on to the four poster beds. We finished the visit with Devonshire cream tea. There were tea strainers and actual tea leaves. We had to wait for the cow to be milked and the corn to be ground to flour. No rush-not MacDonald speed- but quality.
