Tuggeranong Homestead, Heritage homestead in Richardson, Australian Capital Territory.
The property includes a stone barn, multiple outbuildings, and gardens spread across 65 acres of maintained rural landscape near Canberra.
Peter Murdoch received the initial 2,000-acre land grant in 1827, establishing the foundation for what would become Tuggeranong Homestead.
Charles Bean resided at the homestead from 1919 to 1925, writing the first volumes of Australia's World War I history and establishing the Australian War Memorial.
The homestead functions as an event venue with a commercial kitchen, multiple function rooms, and outdoor spaces available for weddings and conferences.
The 1830s convict-built stone barn remains standing on the property, representing one of the earliest permanent structures in the Australian Capital Territory.
