Statement of Significance

These bunya bunyas and oaks, most probably associated with the Kennelly family's dairy farm, are of significance to the Cardinia Shire because they provide evidence of the variety of early landscaping in the district. The old farmhouse was pulled down in the 1970s. These trees are also significant for their comparative age, their landmark quality and the added potential to interpret the house site historically, as well as their rarity among other plantings in the Shire. The former house yard site is also of potential archaeological significance.
