Lanyon Homestead

Gardeners at Canberra’s historic
Lanyon Homestead have uncovered an
archaeological mystery appearing to date
from the 1800s.

The 2x2m brick vault resembles the side
of a submerged cylinder lying on its side.
The bricks and mortar used appear to be sourced locally and resemble other brickwork
on the site dating from the 1800s. The structure also shows signs of whitewashing in the past.

Set within superb pleasure gardens the property includes a range of outbuildings and is located within a landscape of great natural beauty.

Sheep, cattle and horses still graze on the timbered hills and fertile banks of the Murrumbidgee river.

Lanyon offers an exciting range of public programs, special events and school programs.
We also provide venue hire for that special occasion.
