Description

This is now a private residence, check with Tourist Information when open days occur. Due to the high number of labourers working on the irrigation scheme, the MIA had been declared a prohibition area. A position was created for Lawson to write about the MIA to attract settlers to the area. Henry and his housekeeper Mrs Byers arrived in January 1916. After being accommodated for a short time in a house in Pine Avenue, they were moved to Farm 418, Daalbata Road Leeton.
