Hermannsburg Historic Homestead NT


Entry to the Hermannsburg Historic Precinct



One of the old pianos - one of the few luxuries


Dresser and crockery



Wood stove



Dining room


A vital sewing machine to allow them to make all of their clothes



Out in the yard - too hot for normal gardens


The colonial house plaque



The old colonial house



Water tank



Bath tub


Washing machine



Animal tracking




The old irons - another luxury of the day



Embroidery



Cooking pot



Meat cooler





The old colonial home was full of memorabilia

The lifestyle of the day would have been very tough but they still had time for the delicate side of life with the piano and sewing machine, school lessons etc.  the old pioneer spirit lives on here and it is good to know their efforts will never be forgotten.
