This beautiful wooden gate divides the cobbled yard from the garden. This design of gate is not common in Tasmania but I have seen it once before at the entrance to a country church. I can imagine heavy goods for the house being delivered through this gate to the kitchen and cellar. Not that long ago in Hobart when milk was delivered to the house the milkman would come through here early in the morning and leave the milk on the kitchen table. If you should join a tour of the house and garden we hope you will admire this charming heritage design gate.
You can just see the conservatory on the right.
