Statement of Significance

The Old Yallock sites, distributed along the Yallock Creek to the bay, have potential significance to the Gippsland region and depending on their extent, the State: because of their age and the documentation which surrounds their evolution. However this significance cannot be judged by superficial examination and further detailed investigation must be carried out using the 1850s maps and Mickle's composite map as a guide for archaeological work.

      Old Yallock - Physical Description 1

      Early elements in this complex include gabled weatherboard clad timber-framed outbuildings (stables, barn 1920s?), with gable finials, and a man's hut (c1910, split paling?) grouped around a house yard, with one mature Norfolk Island pine, later but mature Monterey cypress and some hawthorn hedges. The man's hut is simply gabled with finials, as for the rest of the complex, with a verandah along one side and an added skillion at one end. The verandah brackets appears from early this century.

      The 1893 foundation brick has been reused in the new brick house; the earlier large brick house having been demolished in c1984. Identification of the graves and other artefacts should be the subject of an archaeological examination of the site which is outside the scope of this study.

      Old Yallock - Physical Conditions

      Inspection is yet to verify the full extent of the remains on this historic property, requiring archaeological examination. However, dealing with today's house complex, the property has only slim remnants of its early history, the oldest verifiable element being the 1893 brick used in the new house. The Norfolk Island pine may be from the turn of the century or later but appears to unlikely to be any older.
