Eurambeen Homestead Family Cemetery
Beaufort, Pyrenees Shire, Victoria, Australia
Eurambeen homestead is located nine kilometres west of Beaufort, is one of the region's most historic buildings. Its origins date back to 1862, when Irish potato farmers George and Francis Beggs built it with locally quarried stone and Oregon timber. The slate for the roof was shipped across from England
Major Thomas Mitchell, surveyor-general of New South Wales, and his party were the first European explorers to travel through this region in 1836, while on an expedition to chart tributaries along the Murray River.
European settlement began in the region soon after, in the 1840s, with vast expanses of pastoral land taken up by squatters who used the land for agricultural purposes, bringing with them thousands of livestock.
Eurambeen was originally named Mt Cole Station and was occupied by brothers Alexander and Colin Campbell from 1840.
Each of these land owners constructed houses and used their land primarily for grazing purposes.
