    The site was originally part of the large May pastoral run in the 1840's. May was subdivided in the early 1850's and allotment 36 (152 acres) was purchased by E. Mitchell and J. Close in 1852, who grazed stock on the property, and leased part of it to J. Jennings. Jennings cultivated part of this land and grazed stock on the area leased from Close and Mitchell. The site is situated in grazed area, which appears to have been under continual grazing since the late 19th century.
