Narrapumelap homestead topiary garden feature, near Wickliffe. Victoria Australia

Narrapumelap historic homestead was built in 1873 by John Dickson Wyselaskie, a successful pastoralist and philanthropist.

 

Narrapumelap, is a uniquely whimsical expression of the architects Davidson and Henderson’s interest in the French Neo-Gothic style. All aspects of Narrapumelap are of architectural note.

 

Wyselaskie is still remembered for not only his grand homestead at Wickliffe but also for his bequest of scholarships to Melbourne University and the funding of assembly halls at Ormand College and Presbyterian Ladies' College in Melbourne.
