Anlaby Open Garden Day 16 October 2021
Anlaby is the oldest merino stud in South Australia, and was established in 1839, when a flock of 5,000 sheep were walked from Sydney.
The property was settled by Frederick Hansborough Dutton. He was an astute farmer and business man who had interests in copper mines after copper was discovered in Kapunda.
Anlaby prospered and in its heyday occupied 160,000Ha of land. It was one of the most prominent rural holdings in South Australia.
The property is heritage listed with the homestead sitting in approximately 10 acres of gardens. Anlaby once had 14 gardeners. The gardens include the largest collection of significant trees (620 trees) on the National Trust register in Australia.
