Blundells Cottage, Stone cottage near Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra, Australia.
Blundells Cottage is a six-roomed stone house standing on the northern shore of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra. The building follows traditional colonial design and houses period furnishings that reflect its original occupation.
The cottage was built in 1858 originally for a ploughman named William Ginn. The Blundell family moved in afterward and occupied the house for around 60 years.
The cottage displays how working families managed their homes and routines in rural Australia during the 1800s. The exhibits reveal the practical details of daily life on farming estates.
The house sits along Wendouree Drive and opens to visitors on Saturdays with no admission charge. Parking spaces are available directly on site for convenience.
The building ranks among the few stone structures from the mid-1800s that remain intact in the Australian Capital Territory. It was rescued from demolition in 1958 and continues to preserve the construction methods of that era.
