Homewood, Bellbrook, Heritage farmhouse in Bellbrook, Australia.
Homewood is a timber farmhouse with an iron roof on Nulla Nulla Creek Road in Bellbrook, New South Wales, listed on the State Heritage Register. The property includes the main dwelling and several farm outbuildings, all of which have kept much of their original form.
The house was built between 1915 and 1916 by David Kirkpatrick, with help from Thomas Ryan. It was among the first lasting structures to be established in the Nulla Nulla Valley.
Homewood is closely tied to the childhood of Slim Dusty, the Australian country music singer who grew up here from 1927 onward. Visitors can walk through the modest rooms and the surrounding farmland that shaped his early years.
The property sits on Nulla Nulla Creek Road and is easy to find in the open countryside. A visit works well combined with a walk around the grounds, since the outbuildings and surrounding land are part of what there is to see.
Slim Dusty wrote his first songs on this property, long before his name became known beyond the valley. The farm was the starting point of a music career that would later make him one of the most recognized voices in Australian country music.
