RE: The Grand Werribee Mansion Park

in Pinmapple2 years ago

These grand old estates always fascinate me. What life and history could they tell? Imagine having a home on that scale with those gardens spread before you on every waking sunrise. Your photos, and the words really invite the imagination @trangbaby

It's a interesting question @buckaroobaby. From what I've been told and from research, Werribee was a common place for travelers to stop overnight during the late 1840s. Thomas Chirnside, a Scotsman who moved here first, saw a lot of potential here, so he decided to build many shops and hotels on the land. Werribee has grown into a thriving city since then... It seems very fantastic.

Thanks for stopping by and I really appreciated your kind words. :)

Fantastic indeed. Thanks for the extra history
