Women of Walkerville Foundation - Marble Hill Tour/Donation

Women of Walkerville Foundation 

A TOUR OF THE HISTORIC AND SCENIC GROUNDS OF MARBLE HILL

Built in 1878 by Governor Sir William Jervois, Marble Hill was the Vice-Regal summer residence for 75 years from 1880, until it was destroyed by the Black Sunday bushfires on 2 January 1955. The main structure remained a ruin until the property was purchased in October 2009 by Patricia and  Edwin Michell, residents of Medindie. The Michells have started a massive restoration project, which has included the extensive grounds, stables, and lastly the main house. Patricia Michell has previously spoken twice at Women of Walkerville events, giving us the history and the challenges of this project. We now have an opportunity to see for ourselves! Please note the main house is still a construction site and there will be no access as part of the tour.

Join us for a guided trip to the hills, a tour of the property and afternoon tea with a glass of rosé in the historic stables. We advise that this tour is for attendees who do not have mobility limitations. All funds raised are for the charities of the Women of Walkerville.
