Australian Country Homes – September 2019

(Chris Devlin) #1

Woolmers Estate, together with neighbouring Brickendon,


was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2010.


Woolmers Estate is a unique and fascinating reflection of


colonial life in Tasmania and is one of the most historically


significant heritage properties in Australia.


Today Woolmers Estate continues to display colonial life in


its most genuine shape and gives an accurate depiction of


Tasmanian heritage, preserved and maintained in an original


and authentic setting.


Woolmers Estate, owned by the Archer family until 1994


and now owned by a private trust, comprises more than 18


buildings and structures in a rural setting of 13 hectares.


Woolmers House, a large two-storey building with a flagged


veranda, was the home of the ‘private master’.


Woolmers Estate is open daily for self-guided tours of the


grounds, gardens and convict built outbuildings and guided


house tours are also conducted daily. Funds from all events


and tours of the estate support the ongoing conservation and


preservation work.
