Hello, I grew up in one of the Ingliston Homested bluestone house nearby and would love some more information about this photo and the area if its available. there is very little history known about this area that i can find online.

Hi Will, you may find some information on Ingliston history via the Central Highlands Regional Library Corporation and The Ballarat Historical Society.

I have was Employed as Assistant Station Master at Ingliston 1956, Visited the Bluestone Farmhouse east of Railway Station.
Remember an enormous fireplace with two doors from outside an gantry allowing a very large firewood log hanging from chains be pushed in. Was told that the stone fence was for protection from Aboriginal Warriors which lived around the nearby Werribee Gorge. I can not remember the Farmers's name.
