The Dairy and Rangers Cottages exclusive Guided Tours

Take a journey back in time to explore the Dairy Precinct in Parramatta Park, a World Heritage-listed site.

This exclusive tour offers an insight into the site’s fascinating stories, historical, social and architectural importance to Australia. See the lath and plaster walls, colonial brickwork and a shingle roof of the original 1796 construction, once home to George Salter, an ex-convict turned cattleman. Later, the cottage was enlarged and converted to a dairy, with a sunken milk-processing room, which can still be viewed beneath the adjacent Ranger's Cottage. In addition to the two cottages and their gardens, the audio-visual exhibition at the site will tell the story of Parramatta Park – the People’s Park - including its significant Aboriginal heritage, along with some more recent history. Immerse yourself in this hour-long tour and appreciate the historical importance of the site.
