DO Details

Join representatives of the Australian Garden History Society (WA branch) and National Trust of Western Australia at Gallop House to learn more about the origins of the landscape and gardens of this historic place. The peninsula, known to Aboriginal people as Nanulgarup,  was named Dalkeith Farm in 1831 by Captain Armstrong. Armstrong, and then later the Gallop family, developed extensive market gardens. The place ‘flourished with a variety of fruit, vegetables, grapes and even a plantation of bananas’.

Gallop House is a National Trust of Western Australia heritage place and houses the Prelude Composer in Residence program, and is currently a private residence.

This tour is held as part of the exhibition Historic Gardens of Perth: Western Suburbs, Cottesloe Civic Centre 7-16 September.

45 minute tour of the grounds only. Meet at the top of the driveway on Birdwood Pde.
