Lanyon Homestead, Heritage homestead in Tharwa, Australia.
The 1850s homestead includes restored buildings, farm structures, and gardens at the base of the Brindabella Ranges near the Murrumbidgee River banks.
James Wright established the property in 1835 with John and William Lanyon, developing it from a pastoral settlement into a significant colonial estate.
The property maintains its dual function as both a heritage museum with period furnishings and an active agricultural site with grazing sheep and cattle.
Visitors can access the homestead through guided tours at 10 dollars for adults, with concession rates available and free admission to the surrounding gardens.
The Convict Barn and other colonial structures on the grounds demonstrate the role of convict labor in early Australian agricultural development.
