Welcome to Gulf Station - Yarra Valley's Pioneer Working Farm

Rediscover Gulf Station: 4th -29th January 2012

After a significant restoration period Gulf Station will be reopening from 4-29 January - come and see the progress we have made in the Homestead and the new Visitor Centre!

Gulf Station began in the 1840’s as part of a 25,000 acre run known as the Gulf. The Bell family began their lives here in the late 1840’s and the homestead and outbuildings are a part of the legacy that the family has left behind for you to explore and enjoy.

Each of the outbuildings tells an exciting story about the daily life on a pioneer farm, with an array of traditional farming implements waiting to be discovered. The homestead is a journey in itself, with new interpretation that will transport you into the domestic life of a rural colonial family where a mother’s word was law!

Once hosting an array of rare breed farm animals Gulf Station is still home to many friendly animals including horses, pigs, chickens and geese. Take a stroll through the idyllic countryside and find one of Gulf Stations many beautiful spots for a picnic.
