The Buffalo River
valley is an area of "varying landscape
and remarkable beauty" and this is
apparent in the Homestead site. It lies
at the western edge of Mount Buffalo and
looks directly onto Buffalo, Sugarloaf
and the Nug Nug hills. It is accessed
from Osborne's Bridge, where the river
roars out through a narrow ravine over
granite boulders onto the wider
agriculturally productive valley floor
below. The property, which now runs
goats & horses, has direct river
frontage and is bounded in part by the
Mount Buffalo National Park. Its
attractive garden setting is a haven for
abundant birdlife and a tranquil repose
for the visitor. |

"Nog Nog Wa" run was
first occupied in 1849. Its estimated
area was then 16,000 acres extending
from west of Buffalo River eastward up
and across the Buffalo Plateau. In 1860
James Dundas acquired the depasturing
licence and in the following year he
applied for a pre-emptive right for the
"Nug Nug Wah" station. The Homestead was
built by Dundas at the northern end of
the property on an elevated site
overlooking the river flats. Only part
of the original building remains due to
extensive renovations over time by later
owners.
