The only time restriction is for the tours of the mansion, for the rest
of the time you are free to go anywhere but Into the mansion.
PARKING
There will be limited parking in the grounds between the main gate in
Nullawarra Avenue (opposite The Drive) and the inner gate. Park only on
the left side of the driveway. Please park carefully, nose or tail in,
so that other drivers are not inconvenienced and as many as possible can
park. The only other parking will be in the streets.
TOUR OF MANSION
Because the mansion is in use as a Dialysis Unit and contains much valuable
equipment, we must limit the number of people in the house at any one
time, and not all rooms will be open. Those rooms not open for inspection
do not contain anything of architectural interest, or else they are similar
to others on show. Tours should take approximately 35-40 minutes.
Because of the number of people wanting to take part in this tour, and
to allow everyone to have a chance to see the interior, we have had to
allocate a time for your tour of the mansion. This time is shown on your
ticket. You will need to show your ticket to join the tour group through
the mansion.
We would ask you to please adhere strictly to this time. We would also
ask you to assemble at the main entrance to the mansion a short time before
your tour is due to start so that groups can be organised and we can keep
to the timetable.
If you are bringing children it will be your responsibility to keep them
with you at all times. Please do not go into any of the rooms that the
tour guide does not open for inspection, and keep with the guide at all
times.
MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT
may sometimes be provided.
TOURS OF THE GROUNDS
These will leave from the front of the Mansion, commencing at 10:30 am
and thereafter will leave at regular intervals as groups assemble. It
is up to you to choose the time you wish to undertake this tour. No tickets
required.
We try to keep the groups to approximately 20 people, only to allow you
to hear what your guides have to tell you and to be able to get through
quickly so that all visitors will be able to take part.
The tour will take approximately 1-1/2 hours and we would suggest that
you wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking involved.

There will be a display of photographs, etc. in the stables complex,
pertaining to the Walkers and Yaralla.
