The Anchorage, Heritage homestead in St George, Australia.

The Anchorage features two stories with twelve rooms, generous verandahs, high ceilings, and decorative cast iron balusters beside the Balonne River.

Built in 1903 by Arthur Bennett for Andrew William Nixon, the homestead reflects the development of St George as a pastoral center in early twentieth century.

The residence stands as an example of early Australian rural architecture, incorporating local cypress pine milled under Nixon's direct supervision.

The property opens for guided tours during winter months, allowing visitors to explore the restored interiors and surrounding gardens.

Three generations of the Teunis family transformed this abandoned heritage building into a living home after a two-and-a-half-year restoration process.
