Westgarthtown, Victoria - Thomastown (VIC)

5 /5 Pauline Clifford: Great spot hidden away near Thomastown. Lots of history of the German settlement in Victoria. Worth the visit.

5 /5 Lynne Pryor: Fascinating time capsule of early Melbournes mid-19th century German immigrant history and stories. Ziebell Farm and heritage garden is full of charm. Onsite information includes videos, books and display boards as well as rooms containing original furniture and artefacts. Includes beautiful watercolours by Jihn Borrack, a descendant of the Ziebell family. The 1850 bluestone Lutheran church and the old cemetary add extra interest, as do nearby old farm houses on the heritage walk. Well worth a visit.

5 /5 Glenn Eckardt: Fascinating look into the history of our local area. It is wonderful to see how the original Ziebells Farmhouse has been restored and the cemetery was also worth a visit.

4 /5 Longhurst Thoran “Thor”: Lovely little museum about German settlement in Victoria.

5 /5 Bruce Dite: What a great story of the history of the Ziebell house John the historian gave. He knew the stories so well and was most interesting and entertaining. 17 cyclists enjoyed this most interesting visit Highly recommend Whitehorse Cyclists Inc
