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

After the success of our January Opening 2012 we are happy to announce that Gulf Station will be running a series of events and open days in 2012.

Open Day in Conjunction with the National Motoring Heritage Day at Yarra Glen Racecourse

Visit Gulf Station this Autumn on Sunday May 20 - you can even get involved in the fun of the Victorian Heritage Festival by hopping on the free shuttle bus from the National Motoring Heritage Day at Yarra Glen Race Course - For more information check the What's On page.

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.
