Toongabbie Government Farm Archaeological Site
Toongabbie Government Farm Archaeological Site, Colonial archaeological site in Winston Hills, Australia
The archaeological site spreads across Palestine Park, Oakes Reserve, and Settlers Walk, containing remnants of agricultural structures from colonial times.
The government farm, established in 1791 under Governor Phillip's direction, grew to surpass Parramatta with 696 acres of cultivation by December 1792.
The site represents early European agricultural practices and convict labor systems, while preserving connections to the original Darug people's heritage.
Archaeological excavations continue beneath the public parks, where visitors can observe ongoing research efforts through designated viewing areas.
Underground remnants include sandstone steps cut by convicts, offering physical evidence of construction methods used during New South Wales colonial period.
