Gulf Station – Yarra Glen is a true gem for history lovers, especially those curious about our local pioneer past. This heritage-listed property offers a fascinating glimpse into 1850s farm life, from the original Bell family home to machinery sheds filled with rusty relics and working horses grazing in the fields. The National Trust opens the gates only occasionally, but when they do, it’s a real treat: visitors can enjoy house tours, bush poetry, sausage sizzles, Clydesdale demonstrations, and even watch sheep herding on the hill. It’s a wonderful way to step back in time and experience a slice of Yarra Glen’s rich heritage.
