Tarndwarncoort Homestead

The Dennis family have lived and farmed here since 1840. In 1880 Polwarth sheep were developed here and registered as Australia's first breed of sheep. The Polwarth breed was created by crossing a Saxon Merino with a Lincoln to create a Corriedale. Then, crossing that back to the Saxon Merino to create the Polwarth. Today we visited the Tarndwarncoort Homestead and chose some wool to be knitted in to something for our future grandchild.
