The Old Farm Strawberry Hill was once the home of the first Government resident in Western Australia. Wander through the beautifully furnished 1836 historic cottage to gain a real insight into the way of life in early colonial times. The cottage was one of the earliest buildings in the state and site of the first cultivated farm. A highlight to your visit is a walk through the property's stunning gardens, which contain some of the original fruit trees. Once you have worked up an appetite be sure to visit the restaurant for a well deserved Devonshire tea or light lunch. If time permits take a short drive up to the top of Mount Clarence for a spectacular view across Albany and the surrounding waters. Just a short distance from Albany and four and a half hours drive south from Perth, the Old Farm on Strawberry Hill provides a wonderful trip back in time to the state's early settlement
