Bluey Blundstones Blacksmith Shop

Overview

Bluey Blundstone's Blacksmith shop was built in 1865. The complex has been lovingly and authentically restored with the smithy's shop now equipped with tools and machinery from that era. The work area is seven square metres with five-metre high ceilings. The thick stonewalls are constantly interrupted with doorways, a window and shelving - all original. At the rear of the workshop, is the family's humble pug and pine dwelling. To one side is a fully enclosed shoeing area separating the workshop from a large stable. The stable has now been incorporated into the residence. Most of the building and grounds are open to the public as a coffee shop and bed and breakfast. The present owners produce items-to-order at the forge. Public access to the coffee shop through the rear of the workshop. The property was accepted onto the State Heritage Register in 1992.
