There is plenty to see and read about at this historic precinct. The grounds are also home to some stunning old gum trees, with plenty of hollows, which were home to native Budgerigars and Australian Ringneck Parrots. Wild Brumbys grazed on the outskirts of the precinct grounds. The art gallery and tributes to Albert Namatjira were fantastic and very interesting.
