The Bundoora Homestead - 5Jan12

The Property - 7-27 Snake Gully Drive, Bundoora.

In 1899, John Matthew Vincent Smith, a prominent identity in the horse breeding and racing industry, acquired the property known as 'Bundoora Park'. Situated in an area reputedly named by the first European settlers after the Aboriginal word 'Bundoora', meaning: the favourite haunt of the kangaroo, the property consisted of 606 acres (245 hectares) of land, and is part of the territory of the Wurundjeri-william clan.
