TitleRiverlea
DescriptionThe Bull family homestead named Riverlea, Waddington, built in 1904. It had three bedrooms, each with a fireplace installed, a large lounge, with a bathroom on the south-west corner. Unusually for the period it had an exterior flush toilet.
Riverlea was demolished in 1965, with the bricks re-used in the new family house. The outbuildings, visible to the extreme right of the photograph, remain: a brick dairy and meat safe, and a wooden block containing a laundry, two bedrooms and a room to hand-feed sheep.SourceHazel Wheeler
