Help the National Trust protect our heritage by undertaking a regular volunteer commitment!

The National Trust works to preserve and promote Australia’s indigenous, environmental, and built heritage and culture.

Volunteering at the National Trust is a fantastic way to meet new people, develop new skills and contribute to the history of your local community.

About this site: Avondale was an early pastoral property established in the 1830s. In 1936, the farm became a government research station for the development of grain varieties, animal husbandry and sustainable farming techniques. Dr Harold Bennets used the research station to develop a vaccine for the braxy-like disease in sheep. The farm has living heritage, with farm machinery, land care centre and animal nursery.
