Gulf Station began in the 1840's as part of a 25,000 acre run known as the Gulf, stretching from Yarra Glen to Toolangi. The Bell family began their lives here in the late 1840's and the homestead and outbuildings are a part of the legacy that the family has left behind for you to explore and enjoy. Each of the outbuildings tells an exciting story about the daily life on a pioneer farm, with an array of traditional farming implements waiting to be discovered.
