Ellensbrook, Heritage site in Margaret River, Australia.
The Ellensbrook homestead sits within a grassy clearing next to Ellen Brook, constructed with granite, limestone, paperbark, and local timber materials.
Ellen and Alfred Bussell established the property in 1857, using resources from the land and labor from convicts, sailors, and Noongar people.
The location was originally known as Mokidup, a Noongar camping ground near the Meekadarribee Cave, which holds sacred significance for indigenous people.
The National Trust of Western Australia maintains the property, which includes a stone dam wall, waterwheel, family grave site, and historical gardens.
The property operated as Ellensbrook Farm Home for Aboriginal Children from 1899 to 1916 under the direction of Edith Bussell.
