Cox's Cottage, Colonial cottage in Mulgoa, Australia.

The white cottage on St Thomas Road features colonial Georgian architecture with an encircling verandah and traditional garden elements from the early 1800s.

Lieutenant William Cox commissioned the construction of this residence in 1810, making it the oldest continuously inhabited house in Australia to this day.

The land belonged to the Mulgowie people, and historical records document interactions between Aboriginal communities and the Cox family during colonial settlement.

The property remains private, requiring visitors to contact local heritage authorities for information about potential guided tours or viewing opportunities.

The cottage underwent restoration in the 1970s under architectural historian Dr. James Broadbent, preserving its original structural elements from 1820.
