A Weatherboard Victorian Villa - Leongatha
Built on the high side of a road, this Victorian weatherboard villa constructed in the late 1890s may be found in the South Gippsland town of Leongatha.
The villa stands proudly amid a beautiful cottage garden, and is surrounded by a white picket fence. Double fronted and sprawling, it has obviously been extended in the ensuing years since it was bult. It features a wonderful bull nosed verandah around three sides of the original residence. The verandah has some very pretty and dainty cast iron lacework and a corrugated iron awning, which matches the roof of the villa. This villa also features some beautiful stained glass widnows featuring diamond patterns in red, blue and yellow.
Leongatha is a town in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges, South Gippsland Shire, Victoria, Australia, located 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. The town is the civic, commercial, industrial, religious, educational and sporting centre of the region. The Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Limited, is a farmers' co-operative which trades in Australia under the Devondale label, and has a dairy processing plant just north of the town producing milk-based products for Australian and overseas markets. First settlement of the area by Europeans occurred in 1845. The Post Office opened as Koorooman on 1 October 1887 and renamed Leongatha in 1891 when a township was established on the arrival of the railway. The Daffodil Festival is held annually in September. Competitions are held and many daffodil varieties are on display. A garden competition is also held and there are many beautiful examples throughout the provincial town. The South Gippsland Railway runs historical diesel locomotives and railcars between the market and dairy towns of Nyora and Leongatha, passing through Korumburra.
