The Beverley Shire Agricultural Machinery Museum (located within the grounds of Avondale Farm in Waterhatch road) will be open to the general public on Saturday June 17 from 8.30am until Noon, entry is free. Now in the hands of the National Trust, the place is once again farmed while still welcoming visitors to the site.Īvondale Farm is about 12kms west of the Wheatbelt town of Beverley and 22kms south-east of York. In 1979 Avondale featured in the sesquicentenary celebrations morphing into a tourist destination. Several important agricultural breakthroughs were made here, in particular those relating to virology and nutrition in sheep, at the time the backbone of the western Wheatbelt economy. When this was unsuccessful, it was gifted to the Department of Agriculture (now the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD)) and converted to an agricultural research station. The property passed through several hands and iterations before the government established a soldier settlement scheme here, subdividing the original extent into 20 smaller lots.
On an expedition in 1835, Governor James Stirling snapped up the land that became Avondale Farm. With its fertile soils, rolling hills and towering eucalypt forest, the surrounding Avon Valley was targeted by colonists from the Swan River colony intent on farming it, despite strong resistance from the Ballardong people. This landscape sustained the Ballardong Noongar people for tens of thousands of years. Donno always wins.Avondale Farm is located on Ballardong Noongar Country, nestled between the Gogulgar Bilya (Avon River) and Dale River, just a few kilometres to the west of the Avon Valley town of Beverley. Speaking of offbeat characters, we get the treat of seeing Donno (Ryan O’Nan) and Walter (Seth Gabel) try to out-weird each other. If I’m wrong, however, just chalk up the romantic robocop to another in the long line of eccentric side characters that pass through Big Sky country. It’s too odd to be a one-off, so I expect him to pop up again down the line. Most curiously is the flattering uniformed cop who lays it on pretty thick with Detective Hoyt.
