Nutcote, House museum in Kurraba Point, Sydney, Australia

Nutcote is a two-storey house at 5 Wallaringa Avenue in Kurraba Point, designed by B. J. Waterhouse and built in 1924–1925 by F. J. Gray. Its compact plan centres on a living hall and includes a studio for May Gibbs, set in a garden on the Sydney Harbour foreshore.

May Gibbs bought the Kurraba Point plot in 1922 for £1,365 and had B.J. Waterhouse design a compact house, built by F.J. Gray in 1925; Waterhouse suggested the name Nutcote. She lived there 44 years, drawing the Bib and Bub comic strip until 1967, and died in 1969. After her death the house passed to UNICEF, was auctioned in 1970, and was saved by the May Gibbs Foundation in the late 1980s.

The house displays original artworks and personal belongings of May Gibbs, the creator of the Gumnut Babies series and Bib and Bub comics. Visitors can explore the creative world of this beloved children's author through the objects she left behind.

The museum is open from Wednesday through Sunday and located in a residential neighborhood with good walkability. Both the garden and studio are accessible to visitors, allowing you to see where the artist worked.

May Gibbs left Nutcote to UNICEF in her will, but the organisation's charter barred it from holding property, so the house and contents were auctioned in 1970. Later owners planned to demolish the site, prompting the May Gibbs Foundation's campaign to save it.
